"A steely, minerally style, showing a light-bodied frame filled in with apple and spices, plus a touch of lanolin, with flint on the fluid, linear finish. Opens up in the glass to reveal salty, briny complexity, with oyster shell minerality at the forefront. A fresh, savory interpretation of Chenin. Drink now through 2028. 1,000 cases made, 200 cases imported."K.B."

"There's nice concentration to this white's dried apple and zesty citrus notes, wrapped in accents of warm spices and salt. Tangy acidity keeps this fresh and bright. Cool stone and mineral elements line the finish, which offers great finesse and drinkability. Drink now through 2028. 1,000 cases made, 200 cases imported."
