Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow in color, with a complex and austere nose. Brimming with aromas of flint
and oyster shell, supported by notes of zesty lemon curd, yellow apple, and a touch
of cream. The palate is energetic, with dominate minerality through the midpalate.
The finish shows great fruit and acid balance, with a lasting umami finish.
Vintage Notes
The 2018 vintage saw some of the warmest and driest months on record. However,
due to decisively earlier pick dates of our Chardonnay, the balance between ripeness
and tension was preserved. The 2018 white wines are both aromatically expressive
and full of energy and verve.
