Pale in color. Driven by aromas of crushed oyster shell, lemon verbena, and nectarines. Mineral expression carries through on the palate that bursts with flint and citrus oils. A vibrant and refreshing acidity integrates beautifully with the structured richness of oak, brioche, and stone fruit flavors to create a lasting succulent finish.

"Vibrant and fresh, with lively lemon and apple flavors that are laced with mineral and spice details. Ends on a snappy accent."
