Description

This exquisite creation was meticulously nurtured, undergoing a transformative journey within the confines of ceramic and concrete eggs, where it rested on its lees for a generous span of ten months. The result is an aromatic symphony that gracefully dances upon the senses.

As you bring this elixir to your lips, the enchanting bouquet unveils itself—a harmonious marriage of lemon balm's refreshing allure intertwined with the delicate essence of white blossoms and the ethereal charm of gardenia florals.

Upon tasting, the journey continues, unveiling a mouthfeel that is nothing short of a revelation. The vibrant grapefruit essence asserts itself with an elegant assertiveness, akin to the invigorating zest of grapefruit pith. This sensation is masterfully balanced by a precise and taut acidity, which, like a skilled tightrope walker, maintains a perfect equilibrium, contributing an electrifying tension and vitality to every sip.

The culmination of this sensory experience is a denouement that leaves an indelible impression—a finish as invigorating as a sea breeze. It imparts a subtle, saline signature that lingers on the palate, reminiscent of oceanic whispers.

In its entirety, this exquisite creation is a testament to the artistry of winemaking, where time, nature, and craftsmanship converge to create a symphony for the senses—a true embodiment of the pursuit of excellence in the world of wine.

Review

Light and bright with lemon and lime tints shining. Lime zest, green papaya, and flinty mineral aromatics. Bright lime and florals burst on the palate with a fresh line of saline acidity to ensure focus and drive. Sweetness does show a little but in the context of this wine it remains in harmony throughout.
