Tasting Notes
On the nose, ripe pear, baked apple, and zesty lemon sorbet notes intermingle with subtle mineral undertones of crushed stone. The palate is seamlessly structured, with racy acidity framing the fruit and allowing flavours to shine with sharp precision. Extended lees maturation introduces savoury brioche nuances, adding depth and sophistication. The finish is vibrant and long-lasting, making this wine as refreshing as it is complex. This versatile Chenin Blanc pairs wonderfully with mild shellfish like scallops or clams and is equally delightful with a selection of your favourite cheeses. For a simple yet elegant experience, enjoy it well-chilled on a warm evening.
