Description:
This varietally distinct wine is enhanced by the soils and climate of the Arroyo Seco appellation where the vineyards are planted. The farming methods allow for the grapes to fully ripen, producing flavors of apple, peaches and melon which are brought to their fullest potential through cold fermentation. The wine is pale straw in color, with hints of floral aromas, including orange blossom and honeysuckle. The taste is crisp and fresh and delivers full varietal flavors, finishing with a hint of spice. This 2006 vintage is an intriguing wine and delightful as an aperitif or with fruits, chesses and a variety of light entrees.
