  White and gold peach on the nose along with white apple, mineral and white honey notes. Medium bodied (8% ABV) with white peach upfront, gaining depth through the middle and adding golden peach, tropical highlights, just a touch of sweetness and some white apple qualities for balance. There's good complexity, good depth as well as excellent contrast and acidity. That's what really makes the wine interesting. The fruit is great, but set off by the acidity and tart white fruit notes moves it up a bit. Could the varied peach notes and tropical qualities stand on their own? Perhaps, but they are better for the fact that the acidity and tart orchard notes provide the contrast and balance that they do. Drinking quite well at present, but in a fashion this wine should be bale to maintain for several years to come.

  Smoky nose of pear, lemon, and white flowers. Wonderful minerality and flavors of apricot pit in the mouth, nicely structured, with medium-plus acidity balanced by a subtle sweetness. The finish is long and rich, with apricot pit and nutmeg. Drink now through 2020+.
