WineSaint
Rich stone fruit and citrus pith open with compelling intensity at 15% alcohol. The palate shifts dramatically. Saline minerality and chalky precision take over, showcasing this monopole's unique terroir. Penetrating acidity balances the wine's generous fruit weight. Demands extended cellaring.
