Description:

First Taste (Attack)
Bright and assertive on entry, with crisp acidity and a dry, focused profile. Fresh stonefruit notes — apricot, pear, and quince — are framed by a distinctly clean, mineral edge.

Mid-Palate
As the wine settles, the palate becomes more rounded. Juicy orchard fruit meets gentle floral tones and soft spice. The texture is mouth-filling yet restrained, with lees contact lending subtle creaminess beneath the freshness.

Aftertaste (Finish)
Dry, refreshing, and lingering. The finish leans mineral and clean, with acidity driving length and clarity rather than weight.

When to Drink & Why Air Matters
This wine is noticeably sharper when first opened. Opening the bottle for 15-30 minutes helps soften the acidity and bring the fruit forward, improving balance and approachability. Best served slightly warmer than fridge temperature.

What to Expect Overall
A refined, dry Blanc de Noir built around freshness and structure. Not overtly fruity or sweet — instead, crisp, food-driven, and deliberately restrained.
