white blossoms and almond pastry

There will be a 2016 and 2019

with refreshing acidity and a beautiful transparency

A background application of wood is sufficiently subtle to allow the notably spicy and ripe yet quite cool aromas of both red and black pinot fruit

then racked into French oak for the malolactic fermentation
