Pale yellow; bright citrus and white peach with tropical fruit and floral notes. Lively attack, generous mid-palate, lees-derived roundness and a tangy, balanced finish.

Blended from Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Sémillon; six months ageing in barrels (about half new) with some lees ageing for texture.
