Light golden core with pale lemon hues leads to a bouquet of white strawberry and peach. The lees autolysis is precise and fragrant, with a soft and gentle oatmeal/brioche complexity. Crisp, dry, and very textured with a polished creamy mousse, fine bubble, and saline beginning, followed by flavours of citrus and white-fleshed fruits. As the wine warms just a little on the palate, the autolysis flavours engage with a mix of baked goods and miso. Balanced, well-made, and ready to drink from the day of purchase through 2029.
