The fresh, medium-high intensity nose offers attractive and ripe stone fruit, pear, quince, apple, and citrus aromas which mingle with mealy and earthy mineral notes. On the medium-full bodied palate it is dry and ripe with apple, quince, pear, and lemon citrus flavours joined by lovely mealy and mineral notes, plus touches of vanilla and a twist of honey adding further complexity. Elegant, structured, and finely textured with fresh, juicy acidity, while mealy, mineral, stone fruit, and citrus notes with a touch of spice linger on long, flavourful finish. Tasted Oct. 2023.

At Bar Ardo restaurant, the food was excellent, and this wine paired perfectly with my orders. Pleasant aroma of cream, hay, and pear, while the flavours were a mixture of honeysuckle, perfume, white pepper, and lemon grass, with a medium finish and high acidity. A nice and fresh wine.- May 2024
