Bright nectarine and peach flesh, almost tropical and very seductive aromatics. Mineral depth with excellent structure. Begs for pancetta wrapped spot prawns with peach salsa. Very fine!

Clean, more complex bigger brother of Pinot Grigio. Slight fruit quality of fleshy stone fruit. Delightfully refreshing and elegant. Tasted with winemaker Wes Hagen in the photo.

Not to be confused with Alsace but fine, defined and fresh still.
