Interesting and complicated. A varietal that we rarely approach. Tropical notes on the nose and palate. It displays effervescence on the mid palate, which I find distracting. But the pineapple notes draw you in. A very sweet finale left us thinking this was somewhat of a hybrid between Sauvignon Blanc and champagne.

Nov 13th, 2022A little spritz upon pouring, off dry, medium acid, tropical (bananas) with some herbal funk. A sweet vintage.
