"Delicate nose of white flowers, green fennel and subtle lime zest. The palate is tight, with subtle fruit and mineral character. Slightly phenolic, too. This comes from a single 60-year-old vineyard planted on clay and limestone soil. The wine ferments and ages in traditional 1,500-liter pipas. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter and Ecocert certification Drink now or hold."
