"A delicate bouquet unfolds with intense layers of citrus pith, Bosc pear, honeysuckle, tangerine skin, white tea, and earthy white mushroom. The palate is defined by pithy notes and a striking saline-mineral core. Bright acidity and fine texture lend both approachability in youth and the structure to cellar confidently through 2030."
— Anna-Christina Cabrales, 2025
