This wine presents a ravishing, peachy fruit profile with a perfect balance, culminating in a totally compelling, salty finish. Expect a pure and fascinating mix of melting or crushed slate and ripe, concentrated white fruits. On the palate, it is vital, fresh, racy, piquant, and tensioned, displaying a crystalline, very pure, and challenging structure with stimulating salinity. Further notes include ripe citrus aromas, candied orange peel, kumquat, and distinct slate notes, leading to a palate with classy astringency, crunchy acidity, and deep minerality.
