Tasting Note
Bright straw with lemon-leaf, white-flower and apricot-skin aromas. Fresh, pithy palate of citrus, green apple and tropical notes, saline minerality and an almond-tinged, medium-long finish. Crisp and lively.

Food Pairing
Western: grilled shrimp, seafood risotto, light roasted chicken, goat or fresh cheeses. Asian: sushi/sashimi, seafood tempura, Vietnamese spring rolls, mild Thai fish curries.

Production Method
Night-harvested Turbiana; brief gentle skin contact, stainless-steel fermentation and about three months on fine lees. No oak and minimal malolactic influence.
