Palate
Designed to age, we refer to this special design as a "red-wine drinkers
white". Intriguing aromas of
honeyed herb tea over the spice and vanilla of oak give way to layers of
quince paste, clove, tart apricot and green fig.
Winemaking
The Sauvignon Blanc portion was fermented cold and slowly in a stainless
tank and partially barrel aged. The Semillon component was fermented in
specially selected oak barrels and aged on the lees. The blend was made
only a few weeks before bottling. There was NO secondary malolactic
fermentation involved.
Food Pairing
Very versatile with foods of many styles.
