Tasting notes
Bright and expressive on the nose, showing ripe pear, quince, and yellow apple, lifted by notes of honey, white flowers, and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is rich yet vibrant, with generous stone fruit and citrus flavors balanced by refreshing acidity. A delicate sweetness is carried by the wine’s crisp structure, leading to a long, clean finish with hints of beeswax and chamomile.
