Tasting Profile
| Look: | Beautiful almost honey yellow in the center of the glass. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Lovely aromatics of just ripened white peach and apricot mingle with sweet lemongrass, lime leaf, a touch of honeycomb, river rock minerality, and a subtle undercurrent of herbal notes. |
| Taste: | Very bright and crisp on the palate, with just-ripened fruit flavors of Anjou pear, honeydew melon, and white peach laid overtop lime zest, orange oil, sweet vanilla, zesty citrus rind, and a gravelly minerality. |
| Finish: | Easy drinking and incredibly smooth, with flavors that beautifully coat the mouth and a touch of acidity at the very end. |
| Pairing: | A garlic-seasoned prawn and asparagus puff pastry. |
