WineSaint
Wild and uncompromising, this amber-toned white shows the dramatic impact of twenty-eight days on the skins. Candied orange peel, honeyed florals and warm spices build with exotic intensity. The palate is rich and almost oily in texture, with bracing acidity cutting through the concentrated fruit. Firm tannins from extended maceration give this unusual expression real backbone. Drink 2024-2028.
