Winemakers blend this wine with a small amount of Sémillon for added texture and richness. The grapes grow on heavy shale clay soils. The winemaking team handles the grapes with great care upon harvest. They protect the juice from oxidation to maintain fresh flavour. The finished wine shows an explosive nose of fig, gooseberry, and lime zest. The palate is crisp and vibrant, featuring green apple, passion fruit, and a refined saline minerality. The silky, coated mid-palate leads to a long, composed finish.
