Winemaker Notes
A substantial wine with the finest precision at the same time, it smells of white peach, apricots and orange blossoms. The animating acidity and the powerful mineral vein carry this wine far beyond the palate. Like all wines from this location, this large plant also has an extremely high shelf life.
