WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Yellow apple, bosc pear, pineapple, and lemondrop fruit lead on the nose and are accented by an underlying current of toasty boulangerie and pastry notes, compliments of French oak aging and extended time sur lies. Light and crisp on the fore palate with tangy quince, spiced pear, and lemon rounding out the mid-palate. Earthy floral notes of nasturtium and saffron ground the barrel notes of brown sugar and toffee and reveal an appealing complex of starfruit and sweet hay. Classic apple fruit, vanilla, and meringue notes embellish the finish and an elegant vein of acidity maintains freshness, vibrance, and harmony.
TASTING NOTES:
This wine is rich, sumptuous, Golden Delicious apple, pineapple, white nectarines, interlaced with baking spices, lemon zest, Key lime cream, white florals, floating into toasted pistachio, brioche and a crisp dry finish.
