WineSaint
Searing acidity cuts through a core of white peach, citrus zest, and wet slate, with the minerality intensifying through to a long, saline finish. There's a fine, almost gossamer texture here that belies just how tightly wound this wine is, precision and intensity in the same breath. Give it 3–5 years to open up and find its stride.
