Winemaker Notes
Highly aromatic with flavors of grapefruit, peach, honeysuckle, lemon curd with minerality and a note of nutmeg in the background. It is round mid-palate but is zippy and bright with fresh acidity. It finishes with notes of elderberry and brioche while the creamy mouthfeel lingers.
Food Pairings – Enjoy with perfectly seasoned roast chicken, pasta alfredo, seared scallops or baked brie en croute.
