The wine is aged 12 months sur lie in neutral Slavonian oak barrels followed by 6 months in bottle.

Pale golden-tinged color. Apple, maple butter and orange blossom on the nose. Offers a glyceral mouthfeel, but with zingy lemony acidity providing lovely lift. Finishes with an earthy, tactile nuance, and whiff of iodiney, marine breezes. A pretty wine of sneaky concentration.
