A blend of Cortese, Chardonnay and Sauvignon; the Chardonnay and Sauvignon vineyards were planted in 1993 with clones from Chablis and Sancerre. First vintage 1997. One of the estate's classic wines.

## Tasting notes

Intense, brilliant straw yellow. Broad, enveloping nose with mineral and chamomile notes beside peach, exotic fruit and a delicate smoky touch. Good body, balanced by good acidity that supports the structure. Elegant, complex finish of good length and intensity.
