TASTING NOTE

The aromas on the nose whisper the incredible complexity of this wine, with dried coconut, nutmeg, and ripe oranges prominent. Upfront on the palate is a pleasing wet stone-like minerality and a crisp, bright acidity. The bright acidity carries through to the finish leaving a lingering tingling sensation. Golden apples and ripe pineapples are prominent on the mid-palate with a refreshing kiwi fruit top note. On the finish, lovely aromas of orange blossom and sweet spice linger.
