The grassiness on the nose instantly evokes Sauvignon Blanc, but there is a candied orange and melon note as well. Despite having some fairly decent weight to it, the palate has plenty of vivacity, with a wonderful tingle of acidity and notes of apricot, quince and Macintosh apple. While dry, the wine certainly isn’t lean, and there is a hint of back end sweetness on the long, fruit-driven finish. Chill lightly and enjoy with seared scallops, fish stews or white asparagus with salt and olive oil.
