“This wine’s sapid fruit edges toward the red hues of a peach, with toasty notes of sesame and a cool crunchiness, like seaweed, lending structure to its fruit. There’s a fresh nuttiness in the end, for chicken or gamier birds braised with apricots.”
“Grassy on the nose with notes of pink and yellow grapefruit, rosemary and cinnamon, too. Medium-bodied with a silky texture. Bright and refreshing on the palate with a bit of white pepper coming in at the finish.”
Winemaker Notes:
“Delicate and fresh aromas of lemon and almond. Citrus and floral flavors, with phenolic grip and good acid providing structure, length and roundness. Umami finish, savory and light.”
Alcohol: 13.1%
