Tasting notes

Pale green-gold color. Fine, fresh apple-citrus aromas with a hint of vanilla. Medium bodied, the flavors match the aromas, with distinctive white peach and citrus elements that linger and provide wonderful refreshment. Crisp acidity is balanced by soft ripe fruit in the finish, yielding a very polished, flavorful wine that will pair nicely with lighter appetizers, salads, and simple fish or poultry dishes.
