Aroma
A lifted nose of lime zest, sea spray and that first breath when you step onto the beach.
Palate
The palate echoes the aromatics, woven together with bright, crystalline acidity that gives the wine its signature savoury edge.
As a faithful dirty martini drinker, this wine continues to spark disproportionate joy.
Hints of oyster shell, fresh fennel and a cool, saline minerality glide through the glass, all wrapped in a dreamy, sun-drenched haze. There’s beautiful form here - poised, graceful, quietly luxurious.

Vintage Notes
The season began dry before shifting to a wetter-than-usual October, with an exceptionally warm December bringing ideal flowering conditions. While the Christmas and early January period posed some challenges, a return to warm, settled weather through February and March improving ripening. Occasional rain showers kept canopies refreshed, leading to a smooth, trouble-free harvest. The season produced wines of both volume and generosity.
Food Matching
Pair it with the ocean’s finest — fresh oysters, mussels with white wine and garlic, or thinly sliced kingfish. It’s a match made long before you even reach for the lemon.
