Nice surprise, very tasty wine. A bit of funk upon first opening quickly blows off to reveal high-toned orchard fruit aromas. Rich yet lively on the palate, this is all about peach skin and pithy grapefruit flavors with a squeeze of lemon. A gravelly texture and bright acidity give it traction for food, and a hint of barrel-derived vanilla rounds out the finish. Great apertif wine to go with pre-dinner snacks on the back porch on a sunny late afternoon. Fully enjoyed this, bottle was drained quickly.

- Yellow color with medium forming legs and aromas of grapefruit and orange blossom. It's balanced and has flavours of grapefruit and oak with a light/medium body. Polished texture with a short finish.
