The 2016 Maestro is; 32% Roussane, 23% Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay 23%, Viognier 15% & Grenache Blanc 7%.

The nose has very nice yellow florals, honeycomb, waxy notes, meyer lemon, green apple skin, fresh herb notes, white peach, lime, pineapple, some apricots with yellow/spring flowers with mixed greens.

The body is lean to medium. The fruits start fresh, lively and waxy and evolve into deep crispy minerality, white spice and powdery chalkiness, honeycomb, waxy, meyer lemon, green apple skin, fresh herb notes, white peach, lime, pineapple, some apricots with yellow/spring flowers with mixed greens. The acidity is a little too high for my wheelhouse and the balanced finished goes on and on.

Photos of; another area of their tasting lounge, large oak casks, property grounds and the view from their Cellar Door.
