PNP. Pale yellow. Fragrant nose of lime zest, melon, fresh cut hay and oak spice. Rich palate that retains its freshness via a crisp, tart, acidic backbone of melon and citrus fruit. I feel the acidity in my back molars. Juicy finish.

From some of Rochioli’s oldest vines with 10 acres planted in 1959. Distinctly a warmer vintage with higher viscosity and tropical fruit. Star fruit, papaya, and meyer lemon flavors with lovely round mouthfeel.

Beautiful beautiful wine. Slightly tart that blew off in 15 minutes allowing an appealing acidity to carry the fruit to a long - fresh - finish. Didn’t think this was possible in a domestic Sauv Blanc.
