Quintessence is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. It has a beautiful aromatic profile, with classic nuances of lemon curd, tangerine and honey, accented by notes of brioche toast, matchstick, hazelnut and dried flowers all coming together in harmony. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous creamy texture, with tremendous overall balance. It further impresses with its underlying combination of salinity and minerality that adds even more character and complexity. This is fantastic today, but it also has the potential to evolve beautifully over the course of the next 5-10 years.
