Mio Vineyard is a little closer to the lake, with soils just a little deeper than those typically found on the Bench. Yet the magic is that it possesses some of the Bench minerality because of Father Time’s way of eroding and washing down minerals – and those vineyards closest to the Bench benefit! This Mio has a seductive nose of white peach florals, overlaid with sea spray, and a really lip-smacking acidity in the mouth, a lightness of being and therefore a defining Mio! There is an intriguing, sharper, greener, almost oregano-like minerality here. It's totally dry. However, I can almost taste the burnt sugar peaks of meringue on a lemon pie.  Complex? Yeah!

A word from Mary: Lemon sherbet. With lanolin.

Only 45 cases made.
