This wine presents intense tropical fruit fragrances like: pineapple
mango, papaya, and passion fruit. Aromas of peach and pineapple
complement a finish of crisp tartness and vanilla. To achieve the
perfect balance, the wine was aged for eight months in 79% stainless
steel, 14% new and 7% seasoned French oak. This ancient Rhône varietal is finding modern popularity as an intriguing alternative to Chardonnay.

Winemaking Notes: Hand picked and vineyard sorted on a very cold
morning in October. The grapes were then destemmed and cold soaked
for 2 days. The fruit then went straight to the bladder press for a light
pressing. The must was cold fermented in stainless steel for about 2
weeks to retain fruity notes and then allowed to undergo Malo-Lactic
fermentation. The wine was aged for 8 months.
Recommended Pairings: Wonderful with cheese and full-flavored
chicken, fish and turkey. Works well with pork in spicy sauces. Also
pairs nicely with Asian cuisine.
