Winemaker Notes
A very light kind smokiness intertwined with ripe nectarine and white fruit. The palate is very crisp, sight and very straight, keeping the sweetness here very much in check. The overall profile is a delicate balance of smokey volcanic elements and white fruit – a delicious apero wine.
