Oldest vintage of this wine I’ve tasted so far. The usual genius. Still fresh.

Toasted almond, preserved lemon + golden miso. Beautiful acidity + radiant balance! ✨

Beautiful. Still a baby, needs time for the oak to settle in a little and for the rich tightly packed core to bloom into what it's meant to be. Smooth like cocoa butter on the palate.

90% viura 10% Malvasia
Nutty, high acid, roasted lemon, herbs and strong mineral character. A little oxidized note but not too much, the concentration is really profound in this vintage in all facets this is a powerhouse of a white that should age quite well.
Clean and long finish, bright, crisp and fresh with a lingering crystalline taste of citrus and sea salt.

It’s been a year since we opened the last one of these. It’s still in excellent shape. One more left in the cellar...

Unique and austere, has a waxy, honeyed, dried apricot, feral quality.
