Production Details The grapes were whole-cluster pressed, fermented in 100% new François Frères French oak barrels, completed malolactic fermentation, matured for 18 months in that cooperage, and were bottled unfiltered. The sheet reports “ACIDITY: 6.2 g/L” without specifying the acid-equivalent basis, so it is not mapped to total_acidity_gl. It also prints “RESIDUAL SUGAR: <0” without a unit; this anomalous, non-exact entry is not mapped to residual_sugar_gl.
Tasting Notes White cherry, French vanilla bean, toasted macadamia nut, Meyer lemon, citron, limestone minerality, and spicy fresh-milled cedar
Food Pairing Seared sea-salted scallops with lemon and capers; roast pork tenderloin with apple and fennel; or creamy lobster risotto
