The nose opens with lifted aromas of white flowers and fresh orchard fruit, followed by a subtle tropical note that adds warmth without heaviness. On the palate, the wine is bright and quenching, showing crisp acidity balanced by a lightly creamy texture derived from concrete aging. Fruit remains clean and focused throughout, finishing fresh and saline rather than sweet. The 2023 vintage delivers energy and balance, favoring refreshment and immediacy over richness, and offering a style that feels both modern and deeply satisfying.
