Laïka 2023 White wine working vines he had alreadyA finely tuned Sauvignon Blanc that balances generosity with laser like precision. The palate opens with gentle weight and a silky texture, then tightens through a line of chalky tension. Flavours of ripe pear, quince, and chamomile unfold gradually, carried by subtle phenolic grip. The finish lingers long and savoury, leaving a trail of faint herbal bitterness. A masterclass in texture driven white wine.
