Dry with a bit of waxiness and figs on the nose. Full on the palate. Acid prevalent but integrated. Long, full finish. Would be interesting to age this one.

Awesome white wine! Nice acidity and citrus notes, but not overpowering. Pair with pork loin topped with bourbon pineapple reduction.

Bright and very fruity. Atypical of most Vouvray - a bit new world style.
