  Golden color. Nose: golden apple, Fuji apple, pineapple core, and Persian raisin with accents of brioche, lemon zest, fennel bulb, white pepper, white tea, and slate. Medium/full body on the palate: golden and Fuji apple, pineapple core, white strawberry, and lemon/lime framed by white tea, fennel bulb, white pepper, elderflower/honeysuckle, tangerine zest, lemongrass, clove, and slate. Bright acidity. Lingering citrus zest, apple skin, white tea, fennel, lemongrass, and slate on the moderate finish. Relatively complex and expressive with excellent focus and mineral underpinnings. Pair with soft stinky cheeses, baked white fishes, herb broth mussels, sushi, or lemongrass Thai prawns. Drink over the next 3-4 years.

  A summer wine. Lemon with a bit of roundness at the end. When paired with buttery sauces or foods opens up to riper stone and tropical fruit notes. Ready to drink now but also think it will still be OK to drink a year from now.
