Delicious, especially with seafood. Well balanced, a touch of salinity with full fruitiness.

Wet stone on the nose. Very mineral driven and just a teensy bit off-dry in the best way! Honeydew melon, guava and grapefruit, lovely acidity!

Light straw color, apricot, peach and citrus in the nose. Very smooth with medium acid and finish. Very slight butter in the mid palate that belies some level of oak aging.

Beautiful straw colour.
Lemon, lime zest, ripe peach, melon and other tropical fruits as well, hints of white flowers and stone on the nose.
Light-bodied wine, freshness with grapefruit on the palate.
Pairing for risotto or river fish.
