About the wine
Fragrant hints of jasmine and orange blossom grace the nose, lifted by a spark of bright citrus peel. Lush flavors of honeydew, golden apricot, and ripe peach are layered with a whisper of buttery brioche. Vibrant and invigorating on the palate, the finish is polished with a refined touch of minerality.
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes were harvested in the early morning of August 19, a fruit day, while the Semillon was picked on August 24, a flower day. The wine was 100% fermented in once-used small neutral French oak barrels and aged sur lie for 10 months before blending. The neutral French oak allows the wine to gain a luscious mouthfeel while maintaining a balanced acidity. The wine was bottled on July 27, a root day.

About
As ELEGANT as Audrey Hepburn, these are mid-weight reds made in the traditional dry, earthy style of the French classics like red Burgundy. Most are Pinot Noirs, but all share the lean, tart and dry European-inspired flavor profile that prioritizes --food-friendliness.
