Tasting Note

In the glass it is pale gold with a green tinge. The nose runs to citrus and pear, white flowers and peach, with a delicate note of vanilla from the barrel. The palate is where the altitude pays off: bright, cool-climate acidity underneath ripe orchard and tropical fruit, a creamy edge from time on the lees, and a clean, mineral-tinged finish.
