A firm, mouthwatering white, with a touch of grapefruit peel bitterness lifting the finish. Green apple and greengage are the core flavors. Drink now through 2018.
A ripe and really quite pretty nose displays mostly green fruit and lemon scents along with quinine and tidal pool nuances. There is solid complexity to the medium weight flavors that are supported by more evident acidity on the lingering finish. This offers good quality for its level and it too should drink well young.
Guided wine recommendations are based on the region, varietal, flavor profile, and similar customer preferences as this wine.
