Good morning! Breakfast of champions at our hotel which, is run by the producer of Clouds wine.

This is very pleasant. Not overly mineral driven which, can be the case with some producers in the area. Like, the complementary Delaire Graff sparkling poured at their restaurant last night.

Nose of, bright light citrus blend, Jasmine, spring flowers and lilies.

The body is rich. Light citrus blend, pineapple, touch of tropical melons, medium intensity volcanic minerals, nice chalkiness, Good acidity and a pleasant rich finish.

Photos of, the view from our hotel Clouds breakfast terrace, that beautiful red clay they are excavating for vine planting in the center of the hotel, cold breakfast bar and inside restaurant seating.
