dark fruits (blueberries)
Aromas of hay and hints of aniseed are appreciated
At the core is a strong minerality supporting pungent fruit with the slightest bit of herbs in the backdrop
It is a variety that adapts to light soils and needs an extensive vegetative cycle
which adds an aromatic and textural twist
