Youthfully vibrant with developing complexity

The structured acidity and natural phenolic content of this Jura white allow it to gradually develop complexity over a decade or more, with peak drinking occurring 5-10 years post vintage. The 2022 vintage has good balance and precision, likely extending the wine’s cellar life.
