One of the most exciting white wines you will ever taste. Intensely aromatic, with a nose of white flowers, grapefruit, peach, petrichor and lime. The palate is electric, with brilliant acidity balancing the full mouth feel. The wine is dry, but it has a richness to it, and the primary fruit is dominant. Intriguing and charming, with a satisfying saline minerality interwoven throughout. Do not overchill, as you do not want to mute the fruit. Serve with Prosciutto and melon, Vegetable Stir-Fry or takeout Chinese Food.
