This deep lemon-yellow wine has forward aromas of ripe golden apple, ripe pear, lemon, quince, peach, clove, cream, vanilla, pastry, toast, elderflower, dried yellow plum, and dried apricot. All that translates to the vibrantly intense palate. The wine is dry but richly textured and to that end its only lack is an extra jolt of acidity. Medium alcohol and a long finish round out a dazzling wine adventure in the glass.
