Tasting note

品飲筆記：香氣帶有烤蘋果、成熟梨與檸檬奶油，橡木香融合香草與烤杏仁，入口時奶油般的質地立刻佔據中段，酸度清晰帶動整體節奏，尾段留有溫暖的烤香與悠長回甘。 酒莊與田地：達歐（DAOU）為家族經營的酒莊，位於帕索羅布爾斯的高地園區，日夜溫差大讓果實成熟但仍保有鮮爽酸度。葡萄園排水良好、陽光充足，帶出集中卻平衡的風味。 釀造手法：以法國橡木桶陳年，帶來香草、烘烤與柔和香辛感；使用旋蓋（screwcap）封瓶，確保果香與新鮮度。整體風格偏奶油、口感飽滿，適合喜歡橡木與豐盈口感的品飲者。

Tasting Note: A lush, oak-driven white with generous notes of baked apple, ripe pear and lemon curd, wrapped in toasted almond, vanilla and warm spice. The palate is silky and broad, showing creamy mid-palate weight balanced by a clean, bright line of acidity and a lingering toasty finish. Producer Notes: From DAOU Vineyards & Winery — a family-owned estate led by Georges Daou with Daniel Daou overseeing winemaking — this release showcases the mountain-grown character of Paso Robles fruit. The wine is designed for immediacy while offering layered complexity. Winemaking: Fermented and matured in French oak, the wine displays integrated oak influence—vanilla, toast and subtle spice—while preserving fresh fruit clarity. Finished under screwcap to lock in freshness and aromatic lift. Vineyard: Sourced from elevated estate sites in Paso Robles, the fruit benefits from warm days and cooler nights that concentrate flavors and retain natural acidity. Well-drained soils and careful canopy management yield ripe, balanced grapes that translate into concentrated, textural wines.
