Saffron and grilled bread aromatics lift citrus and stone fruit on a nose that builds complexity with air. The palate shows real tension despite its concentration. Meyer lemon and white peach framed by oyster shell minerality. Fennel and white florals weave through the mid-palate, adding aromatic depth to an already compelling wine.
