Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes, from a cooler climate, more hang time on the vine. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some pan sautéed halibut with a Beurre Blanc sauce.

Golden color, buttery, and cedar nose, delicate honeysuckle. Lovely complement to a meal with curry.
