Apple, lemon candy, dried apricot, pear and blood orange. Great acidity and balance.

The pale yellow wine smells beautifully savory, with a flowery nose which is joined by a big whiff of white pepper and earth notes. The palate carries the earthiness to a ridiculous extreme - and be glad of that. There is a sense of apricot, lemon curd and peppers on the palate. The acidity is just right and a blanket of salinity runs through the sip and into the lengthy palate. If you are searching for a white wine to put on your holiday table, this one would be a great fit.

This wine is amazing. Wonderful balance of a sweet beginning that yields to smooth, citrus finish.
