Tasting Notes
Dichotomous aromas of jolly rancher and crushed stone - both serious and thirst-quenching at the same time. The wine smells of watermelons and strawberries, a sprig of mint, and the sea. The palate is deliciously dry, with a subtly chalky texture, and calm, candied fruit finish.
Winemaking
Fermented in stainless steel tank at a cool 55°F for 20 days. Aged in stainless steel tank for a quick 6 months before bottling.
Food Pairing
Pair with crawfish, spicy Thai food, and pork meatballs where it will cut through the richness.

The wines are aromatic and fresh in style.
