19 in stock

From old, ungrafted vines, small-berried, fully ripe, healthy grapes (only 3% botrytis due to the vintage circumstances). On the nose scents of ripe, yellow stone fruit and orange zests. On the palate ripe apricot and peach, with a hint of herbs and a touch of “salty” minerality. An elegant mouth watering acidity keeps the balance with the juicy and complex fruit. Long finish and off-dry. Pairs with a wide array of savoury, or mildly spicy foods like Asian and fusion cuisine. Excellent with pâtés, aromatic cheeses and old, hard cheeses.
