2023 Sylviane Estate Blanc
Tasting Notes: Wonderfully perfumed with citrus blossoms in jasmine green tea, fresh oysters and sea spray. The demeanor is delicate but serious. In the mouth it is at first deceivingly soft with a mineral-inflected acidity but then gains momentum, unfolding like scaffolding into a fine, saline structure layered with flavors of stone fruits, Bosc pear and lemon zest. The seemingly never-ending finish is saline, firm and still expanding, with suggestions of beeswax and lemon chiffon. If there exists a space between refinement and fun, this is it.
