This is an aromatic wine, true to the grape’s design and heritage (it’s a cross between Riesling and Trollinger). It hits high notes of Meyer lemon, orchard fruit, and orange blossom, but this flowery sweetness is offset by an oiliness, a sense of sage and earth. Almost Riesling-like, but not quite, the palate balances the weight of ripe fruit with cleansing acidity.
A good partner for poultry, fish, the cheese board.
