Wine Details
Price:
$16.99 per bottle
Description:
The Auxerrois grapes used in our Odyssey Series are picked from our very first Gray Monk vines planted in 1976 and 1977. These old vines produce a small crop with intense fruit flavours. The juice was fermented in a temperature-controlled environment in stainless steel tanks for 14 days.
With a pale green hue, this wine's layered fruity aroma suggests peaches, apricots and almonds. The clean flavours recall apples and apricots with a lingering note of almond on the crisp, clean finish. The disciplined texture of this wine shows finesse and elegance. Serve chilled with seafood.
