Release Notes:
This wine comes from hand-harvested grapes grown on 20 to 50 year old vines. After a careful sorting of the grapes, they are slow-pressed, and then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh flavors.
Tasting Notes:
This is a beautiful, pale yellow wine with touches of gold. It offers an evocative, highly aromatic nose dominated by ripe, juicy stone fruit (peaches, plums & apricots) and floral notes. This is a very refreshing wine, with good acidity to balance the peach and apricot flavors add a hint of caramel and herbs. The clean and refreshing palate leads to a nice finish. It is ready to drink now, and can be served with any and all fish and shellfish dishes, or as an aperitif.
