"This is tightly meshed at first, but the succulent acidity helps flavors of Honeycrisp apple, tangerine peel, pickled ginger and white blossoms expand on the palate and linger through the finish. Drink now. - AN"

"The 2022 Ferrum comes from 1 hectare planted in 2010 on shale soils, regrafted to Chardonnay eight years later. It has a well-defined nose with pear, sea spray and light earthy scents unfolding in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly waxy opening, fine acidity, gentle grip and a very saline, Crustacea-tinged finish. Give it a couple of years in bottle."
