This wine presents a combination of sunflower seeds, white flowers, bruised red apples, and white cherry, with a subtle presence of mushrooms. It leans more towards mineral notes than fruity ones. Initially, both the nose and palate offer a burst of intensity, but this quickly gives way to a thinner experience on the palate, culminating in a warm aftertaste that, while present, is sparse in flavours. The mineral aspect is intriguing, though the wine doesn't reach the heights of being truly captivating. Its main drawback lies in its balance, particularly where ethanol feels somewhat disjointed from the rest of the profile.
