Wine is straw colored and bright. Primary aromas are ripe pear and apple juice. Secondary notes of apple blossom, lemon peel and chalky earth. Golden apple comes through on the palate, with some apricot and a good amount of salinity. Wine is unexpectedly acidic, especially given the sweet juice aroma.

Nose: slightly underripe berries - raspberry and strawberry, herbaceous, some black pepper spiciness, violets Structure: medium acid, medium body Palate: jammy but tart fruit, giving way to green bell pepper and some musty vegetal notes, soft tannins on the finish
