WINEMAKER NOTES:
A crisp freshness is the main component the winery looks for, but they enjoy the bright minerality as well, and the naturally low alcohol level makes the wine even more enjoyable. There is no contact with oak barrels during the production, so the charming fruit component is allowed to take center stage.
TASTING NOTES:
Shows juicy yellow apple, Asian pear and lemon zest notes that are mouthwatering and fresh, gaining complexity from details of apple skin, fragrant white flowers and lingering fresh-grated ginger. Drink now. 7,225 cases made.
- Wine Spectator, 92 pts.
Aromas of orange blossoms lead to warm, rich, golden apple, vanilla and cream fla- vors on a luxurious texture. This wine is practically sweet from very ripe grapes and the pastry-shop array of oak spices
- Wine Enthusiast, 91 pts.
Chopped apples, pears, peaches and wet stones on the nose. Crisp and focused with a medium to full body. Clean and mineral chardonnay.
- James Suckling, 90 pts.
