The appearance is pale straw. White peach skin, pear, mandarin, and notes of citrus blossom are present in the aroma. There are also tones of almond meal and dried basil. The palate is delicate but rounded with texture and has tones of white musk, peach, beeswax, orange zest and marzipan. There are chalky phenolics and a long lime-driven finish which carries a subtle struck-match funk.
The perfect seafood wine; match this with natural oysters with Thai dressing or Patagonian Toothfish with a miso-butter sauce.
Although drinking well as a young wine, this wine shall reward careful cellaring for 5 from vintage.
