Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2023 vintage opens with delicate aromas of sweet cream, bright key lime zest, and crisp, ripe orchard fruit. Silky in texture with soft, approachable tannins, the palate reveals juicy stone fruit complemented by subtle floral notes and a hint of tartness at the mid-palate. The wine concludes with a smooth, creamy finish, gen-tly accented by a whisper of oak.
Vineyard Notes
The grapes for this bottling come from what our winemaker lovingly calls the “heart of the vineyard”; a particular area on the eastern side of the estate that he is particularly attached to, which overlaps a few different “blocks” and amazingly, when outlined in a drone photograph, is heart-shaped.
