Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Crystal clear in the glass, with a pale green tinge. Fruity/floral aromas, with lychee, gardenia, passionfruit, pear, honey, and kiwi. Light and refreshing on the palate, with a perfect balance of bright acidity, round mouthfeel, and touch of sweetness. The aromas follow through in the mouth, with guava, mango, green apple, pineapple, and lime, and a long finish.
Vineyard Notes
Estate vines planted in 1984-88
Winemaker Notes
The grapes were harvested by hand, foot crushed, and pressed. The juice settled overnight, then was racked to stainless for primary fermentation, with a temperature range of 55-72°F. After fermentation was complete, the wine was racked and aged on the fine lees until the following spring. The wine was lightly fined with bentonite and sterile filtered at bottling.
Food Pairing Notes
Serve chilled as an aperitif, or with mild cheeses, light white fish or shellfish dishes, or curries. Especially good with dishes that have coconut milk and some heat.
