Beautiful golden color usually found in aged or skin contact whites. Apple cider, peanut shells, wax, resin, bruised brown pear. Wonderful acidity, full bodied, oily mouthfeel, honey citrus finish. Evolves in glass, decanting recommended, serve slightly below room temp.

you can feel the typical sweet sour of ripe grapes. Strong wine but easy to drink
