An inviting nose opens with notes of pear, lemon peel, apple, vanilla, and a delicate hint of ocean spray and crushed shells. The palate is vibrant yet the texture has subtle richness. Layers of citrus and orchard across the mid-palate, supported by lively acidity and fine mineral tension. Quite consistent regardless of the vintages and always enjoyable.
