The Sommelier's View: Crystalline Texture and Minerality

Expect a bright, pale gold color. The aroma profile is intricate, featuring high-toned notes of citrus blossoms, crushed stones, and a distinctive salinity, followed by layers of yellow fruit, pear, and a touch of subtle oak spice. This is a wine of tension and drive.

The palate is textural and focused, with a crystalline mouthfeel that is both powerful and elegant. The wine's vibrant, chalky acidity ensures a long, refined finish, making it a stellar addition to any serious collector's cellar.

Recommended Pairings

For the best experience, serve slightly chilled (11-13°C) to allow the complex aromatics to open up.

• Ideal Food Matches: Classic Fish Pie (smoked haddock/cod), Scallop Mousse with Creamy Fish Sauce, or a refined Roast Chicken dinner.
• Investment Potential: Excellent, with a drinking window extending well over a decade.
