Wild-fermented, this blend of mainly Chenin Blanc with Roussanne, Viognier, and Semillon in support has a quiet nose of lemon citrus and herbs, plus touches of ripe orchard fruits. It's medium+ to medium-full bodied and well-concentrated on the dry palate that is crunchy and textured with a dusty mouthfeel. Flavours are ripe and tangy with lemon citrus, orange, spice, and peach. Very good acidity. Touches of mealy and mineral notes add to citrus and orchard fruits on the long and juicy finish. Tasted June 2024.
