Palate

Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced. The attack is fresh and vibrant, revealing flavors of ripe orchard fruits, citrus, and subtle tropical hints. A pronounced saline character, derived from the dramatic coastal vineyards, provides tension and precision. Crisp acidity supports the fruit profile, while the wine maintains remarkable elegance and drinkability throughout. (falstaff.com)
