On first impressions this wine has an attractive golden color. The nose is bursting
with flavors of lemon rind, fresh hay, caramelized apple and honey. The palate is
rich in flavors of quince, lemon meringue and brioche, with a luscious full texture
backed by a well-balanced acidity and lingering aftertaste.
The grapes are from a single site on the Dornier property. The soil is made up of
red and yellow decomposed granite. We select from the best vines on the site,
which lie slightly elevated from the rest of the block, on a steep slope. The yields
are naturally low with concentrated fruit, full of flavor.

The grapes are hand harvested at optimum ripeness. Hand harvesting allows us to
sort the fruit in the vineyard. The juice was fermented in new- and second fill 300L
French oak barrels and aged on the lees for ten months giving the wine a rich and
creamy texture.
