Winery Review: 30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apple flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, and vegetables.
My Review: The color of this wine is a nice light golden. On the nose this wine is very aromatically pleasing with notes of honey, orange, peach, and pear. The palate of this wine is buttery, but at 14.5%, it has a hot finish. The wine also finishes dry and has very subtle flavors.
