Drinking Window: 2024 - 2025
A weighty, rounded wine with surprising complexity given the price. Ripe nectarine, gentle meadow herb tones and hint of waxy citrus peel linger. All the sunny generosity you want in from a southern Rhône white blend (mainly Grenache Blanc and Rolle (aka Vermentino), but with the crisp acidity to balance and refresh.
