"Light bright yellow color; Musky citrus, pineapple and sweet floral aromas
combine with a fresh grassy element. Initial grapefruit and citrus peel
flavors give way to richer tropical fruits on the palate which is lush, creamy
and broad but underpinned by vibrant racy acidity. With time in the glass
the wine opens further to reveal honeyed leesy richness, broad texture and a
hint of lemongrass on the zesty finish."
-Winemaker Andy Smith
