Pale straw with light golden hues. Bright and clear, showing freshness and cool-climate precision.

Refined and balanced, delivering fresh citrus, stone fruit and hints of biscuit and nougat.
A fine line of minerality runs through the palate, with subtle oak adding texture without overpowering the fruit.

Medium-bodied with a smooth, lightly creamy texture from partial lees ageing.
The finish is long and crisp, driven by bright natural acidity and lingering citrus and stone fruit notes.

A modern cool-climate Chardonnay—fresh, mineral and quietly complex.
Leans toward a refined, Chablis-inspired style, focusing on purity, structure and finesse rather than heavy oak.
