Nose
sweet apple, melon and citrus aromas – with hints of ginger and white peach – layered with toasty, creamy tones from barrel fermentation and sur lie aging.
Palate
On the round, streamlined palate, bright, creamy, apple, melon, pear, lemon-lime and mineral flavors gain additional richness from judicious toasty oak and yeast tones that prolong a lingering, gingery finish lifted by a refreshing minerality.
Aging
15 months sur lie in French oak barrels, 35% new, with periodic stirring of the lees
Food Pairing
Pair with salmon, swordfish, veal and light pork, bouillabaisse or cream bisques.
