Right from the start, this wine grabs your attention with its lifted, aromatic character. You’ll notice floral notes blending with ripe green, spicy hints—imagine green papaya, nectarine skin, lime leaf, and a bit of flint. It has a medium-bodied feel that's athletic yet smooth, building more flavor and complexity with every sip, especially as it gets some air. The fruit flavors get bolder as the wine breathes, and the finish just keeps going, with zesty citrus acidity perfectly tying into the savory notes. Overall, it’s a polished, well-balanced wine you'll want to savor.
