Tasting notes

small production, 10-12 thousand bottles per year, makes this densely packed wine from a trying vintage, a winner. The nose is intricately laced with blooming white & orange flowers and an underlying muscat like waxiness. The palate delivers the promise of ripe yellow tree fruits and great balance; a wine to drink for the next 5 years
