Nose
Pop the cork, and before this wine even hits the glass you’re already smelling bright, juicy, ripe fruit! Aromas of rich honeydew melon, deep orange cantaloupe, and guava nectar, followed by a bouquet of subtle vanillin and sweet whipping cream.
Palate
This wine is full-bodied, and while it entirely coats the palate, its bright acidity almost masks the weight of the wine. At the end you’ll find a medium, clean finish, which we advise following up with your favorite seafood.
