This wine offers notes of mandarin orange, citrus blossom, crystallized ginger, marmalade and hints of yeasty sourdough. Those flavors carry onto a balanced palate that offers wonderful purity, tension and length.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Aromas of citrus and flowers, with a concentrated palate and bright acidity. Light- to medium-bodied with notes of sliced lemons and honeysuckle. Ends with a tangy and refreshing finish. This is an enjoyable and interesting wine that sees approximately 25% new oak. Drink now.
