This wine has a pale yellow color with a greenish tint. The nose is amazing, full of minerality and salinity, with citrus, apple, and pear notes. The palate is loaded with minerals, too, and that beautiful, salty flavor. The acidity is invigorating, and the finish is lengthy. The winery suggests pairing with a wide variety of foods, including seafood, scampi, salads, even spaghetti carbonara. I had mine with a chicken salad sandwich, and again with some Rancho Gordo beans and rice. It was a great fit both ways. — 5 months ago

Intensidade e equilíbrio em um blend de 4 uvas e predominancia de Shiraz, resultando em aromas frutados, com notas de especiarias e leveza floral, com bom corpo e saída suave, mas marcante. Complexo e com bom paladar. — 6 years ago

Light ruby hue. Aromas of cherry and tomato, with a bright, clean, acidic finish of medium length. Very much a wine to pair with food. — 18 days ago
