Nose

Gravel and wet earth represent the classic aromas from this terroir full of minerality. Notes of corn husk sweetness and tomato leaf add complexity. 

Taste

A flavor explosion of cilantro, pineapple husk, pine, and mace are bright and strong in the mouth. Refreshing eucalyptus tingles the tongue as roasted pineapple, kiwi husk, and orchard fruit notes level out the mild finish.
