Sensory Description:

Pale apricot-pink in color with brilliant clarity, this rosé opens with delicate aromas of peach, grapefruit, blood orange, nectarine, rhubarb, and red berries layered over subtle floral and mineral notes. The palate is dry, energetic, and beautifully structured, emphasizing freshness over overt fruitiness. Vibrant citrus, juicy stone fruit, and hints of watermelon are balanced by a distinctive limestone-driven minerality that adds depth and tension. Crisp acidity carries the wine through a refreshing, mouthwatering finish that is both elegant and remarkably persistent.
