This is a wine of electricity and elegance: zesty, saline, and unapologetically sharp. It opens with a surge of grapefruit and lemon zest, bright as sea spray, followed by delicate wafts of lavender and a whisper of ocean air. The palate is pure tension: taut and nervy, like a sea breeze against sun-warmed stone, carrying flavours of crisp pear, citrus pith, and crushed seashells. It is a sip that slices clean, finishes dry, and lingers with mineral precision.
