Sommelier's Note
Crisp and saline with bright citrus notes of lemon zest, green apple, and a distinct sea-spray minerality. The lees-aging adds a subtle textural weight and creamy breadth to the refreshing finish.
Pairs Well With
Pan-seared Cornish sole with browned butter, capers, and charred lemon.
