Tasting notes
After aging on lees in underground concrete vats, the 2022 Orthogneiss is stunning. Elegant nose of white flowers, spices, cumin, citrus and tropical fruits, grilled almonds, mineral and iodized notes. The attack is supple, the mouth is complex and tense with an imposing volume. Salivating finish on pink grapefruit and almond kernel with pronounced saline notes
