Staff Notes:

Straight up dry fizzy fruit salad eaten picnic style on the beach. That’s the immediate impression but parsing that out it goes something like this. 100% Chenin Blanc grown by James’ friend Lulu on clay soils covered in sand broken down from once volcanic stone. It’s sharp as a knife and as marine as the beach it's offset from, but with plenty of high toned Chenin fruit that borders on pineapples, lemon lime, and marzipan. -Matt
