WINEMAKING
Cool fermented in a combination of new and used French oak barrels.

VINTAGE NOTES
Another early harvest with a very warm spring and early summer, but July and August brought cool nights and gentle warmth that allowed the medium-sized crop to mature perfectly. Some of the best-ever balanced wines with beautiful depth and intensity.

AGING
1/3 new and 2/3 used French oak

9 months

TASTING NOTES
A bright bouquet of honeyed citrus preserved lemon and Granny Smith apple, framed by a touch of leesiness. Classy and impeccable in its balance and on the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with a lovely smooth and good length and grip.
