Description
A terroir driven wine from 47-year old bush vines. Aromas of peach, pear and floral notes combine with hints of oak to create a complex, elegant entry on the palate. Full malolactic fermentation attributes palate weight, with a lingering, lively aftertaste. Oak management revolves around accentuating a sense of place, rather than overpowering the wine. Recommended with seared scallops in white wine sauce, seared tuna or goat cheese stuffed chicken.
