Silphium 2024
Tasting Notes
Bright and vivid golden sand hues. Intense nose with citrus, quince, honey and dry flower aromas. Silphium is a rich and round wine, balanced with a soft acidity that leads to a sumptuous finishing with notes of ananas, grapefruit
peals with very distinguish tannins. A gastronomic wine, crafted to evolve; while delightful now, it can be consumed immediately or set aside for the next two years, as its flavors continue to deepen.
