Bright yellow gold. Nose of yellow apple and white flowers. Medium full palate is led by crisp yellow apple and quince layered with white flowers and fresh straw. Firm, almost stony acidity from entry to finish, is belied by the deep color. Firm white flesh fish, roasted or fried poultry, salad greens with apples, and a wide range of “classic” white wine foods will shine with this one, but it’s still friendly enough to be a sipper (but who pays this much for a sipper?). Drink now through 2025.
