I was pretty surprised by how much I enjoyed this! It’s a bigger white wine but it is harmonious.

Delicious initial taste, but the aftertaste is like acetone.

2015 vintage. Good balance of texture and acidity. Lemon curd, melon rind, chalky white rocks, dried white flowers, dried herbs, just the right touch of beeswax (a flavor that is sometimes overwhelming in the variety). Blended with 16% Sauvignon Blanc.

Good honey flavors with nice acidity. Over 14% abv but it does not feel like it does.
