Sip, and the wine reveals its true character: robust tannins tempered by bright acidity that keeps every moment refreshingly alive. This balance creates a mouthfeel that's crisp and invigorating, challenging expectations with its lively freshness. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, it stays true to its roots, delivering purity without excess weight.
