Tasting Notes

Fresh white peach, ripe lemon, pineapple and nectarine nose, palate of green apple, red grapefruit, yellow fruit and a clean acidity.

Fermented in large oak fermenters and neutral oak barrels for an average of 28 days. Aged in 100% neutral French oak barrels for 4 months. Regular bâtonnage for 2 months.

Food Pairing

Dishes as rich as the wine, with lots of umami, seafood flavor, or even a savory broth.
