  December 25, 2022 - Gooseberries, ripe apples (slightly oxidized notes)
  Rich taste, high acidity, zesty tones, green apples, bruised apples, and a mineral touch.

  August 4, 2022 - Very fruity with gooseberry/white peach notes. Giving off a sweet honey note even though it is a dry wine. Have fleshed out to a more significant body with the additional cellar time which is at the cost of freshness but still a quite tasty wine.
  Would pair with fattier or spicier dishes rather than shellfish/light/briny dishes.
  Glass: Zalto White
