Production Details The 2023 release came from two southeast-facing plots totaling 0.52 ha after the original holding was augmented by a new 0.20 ha plot; both plots were over 60 years old. The wine was wild-fermented in steel and then matured for 12 months in barriques that were 6–30 years old.

Tasting Notes Neal Martin’s assessment of the 2023 release describes a reserved, finely delineated bouquet with white fruit, Granny Smith apple and crushed stone; the palate is concentrated, tightly wound and fresh, with lemongrass on the finish.
