Richly aromatic nose of lychee fruit, pineapple, and apricot. Expressive minerality and slight sweetness balanced with refreshing acid. The perfect summer sipper.

Nice blend, a touch of residual sugar but also some pretty citrus and orchard fruit notes. Good acidity.

2015 vintage. Good aromatics and lively freshness. Poached pear, apricot, yellow apple, honeysuckle, lychee. A pillowy softness helps as a counterpoint to zippy acidity.
