From the makers of Quintessa. It opens with yellow apple, wax melon, and citrus blossom notes. The palate has a fresh and lively mouthfeel that offers energetic acidity with even ripeness.
The 2023 vintage of Illumination reveals aromatic purity and incredible depth. Classic notes of grapefruit peel, lemon curd, and white peach are layered with undertones of ginger tea, wild thyme, and clover blossom—the floral character, a hallmark of the cool vintage. On the palate, flavors of kumquat and guava mesh with wet slate and elderflower. A lovely textural roundness is balanced by racy acidity and minerality. While vibrant in its youth, this wine’s structure also promises aging potential.
