Tasting Notes
Aromas of grilled pineapple, star fruit, and vanilla lead to a medium-bodied palate of sliced peach and golden apple. A thoughtful blend of 70% stainless steel and 30% French oak fermentation keeps the wine fresh and bright while adding a touch of crème brûlée richness on the finish.
Food Pairings
A natural match for roast chicken, grilled halibut, lobster mac and cheese, and creamy pasta. Also excellent with Brie, aged cheddar, or goat cheese.
