WINEMAKER NOTES:
Light yellow gold. Attractive, multifaceted aroma, youthful and moderately full, showing a mélange of quince and fennel complemented by a toasted note. The palate reveals more, notably ripe yellow fruits, spice and herbal highlights. At first open, the wine falls off slightly, then continues to reveal a persistent aromatic conclusion. Well-integrated acidity surfaces at the end together with a mouth-coating texture.
Easily the best wine for pairing with lobster but also delicious with other seafood, puff-pastries, white meats, or goat cheeses.
TASTING NOTES:
Lively, textured and aromatic, showing sliced apples, warm herbs, cedar, dried pears, white peaches and some baking spices on the nose, following through to a full-bodied palate with seductive character. Floral and layered, offering some blanched almonds and discreet fruit. Savory, with a long finish. Drink or hold.
