“This bold white makes a statement of richness and restraint, with honeysuckle, marmalade, wildflower honey and grilled orange, plus details of lemon verbena, oregano and litsea oil. Vibrant acidity keeps the flavors fresh and in focus, with a subtle note of beeswax firming up on the finish. Drink now through 2035.”
