The bouquet is impressively tight and lean, but the palate is quick to sing. An incredible density of pineapple and grapefruit, powerful and opulent with an amazing streak of steely acidity providing a perfect equilibrium. One of the truly great producers of this appellation.
Fermented and aged in 15% new oak.
