Tasting notes: This wine hits you with intense aromas of peach, grapefruit, pear and green apple. Flavors of melon & orange zest blend favorably with the bright acidity. The mouthfeel is rich and round with resultant finish long and smooth. Food pairings include grilled fish, oysters, sushi, and spicy Asian dishes such as Thai & Indian cuisine.

Winemaking: Hand sorted and crushed into one thousand-liter stainless steel fermentors. Cold settled for two days and then allowed to settle down before inoculation with yeast. . It was cold stabilized over the winter and lightly fined with bentonite, racked and then bottled in late May 2008.
