Madeira Pilgrimage; 2/1/2016-2/4/2016 (Madeira): Light gold color. White peach, limes and airy notes of sea spray on the nose. Crisp, crunchy and briny on the palate, this tastes like straight-up salted lemons, crushed shells and big waves crashing on rocks. An absurdly oceanic wine, which makes sense because the grapes were grown 100 meters from the ocean. Considering my love for all things oceanic, yes, I enjoy this wine. But it’s a unique style for sure.

Floral aromas with a bit of wood and herb, intense grapefruit and citrus backed up by lemon curd and a mineral tang.
