Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This wine is very fruity on the nose, with nectarines, strawberries, candied cherries, and hints of rose hips and cucumber. The light texture is lifted by the bright acidity, and flavors of watermelon, cranberry and a hint of white pepper mingle on the palate.
Winemaker Notes
The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and destemmed. After a two-day cold soak, the grapes were pressed and the juice was settled and racked to stainless for fermentation. After fermentation was complete, the wine aged on the fine lees until bottling the following spring.
