Nose
Aromas of citrus, candied lemon, pear, apple and wet stone.
Palate
On the palate there are hints of apple, lime zest and kiwi. A lovely breadth and length in the wine. Crisp and bright with a pleasant mouthfeel.
Growing Conditions
The 2021 growing season started with a mild winter that turned into a warm spring. Bud break and bloom were earlier than the previous year by at least two weeks. Early summer was warm and dry with conditions changing to warm and wet by August. As September approached, disease pressure was high and getting higher throughout the harvest. Careful attention was needed in the vineyard and in the cellar to ensure high quality.
