A well-balanced, single vineyard wine. Typical citrus and buttery aromas are complimented by toasty oak derived from new French oak barrels. Full, long, dry finish. Will gain in complexity with 2 to 3 years bottle maturation. A serious wine to accompany fine cuisine. Good shellfish, grilled fish, rich chicken dishes and creamy pastas.
