The aromatic profile features enticing notes of quince, poached pear, and sun-ripened nectarine. You will notice subtle hints of baking spices like ginger and cinnamon on the nose. On the palate, the wine delivers a beautiful tension between concentrated stone fruit and vibrant acidity. The old-vine Chenin Blanc provides a weightier texture, while the oak-matured Semillon ensures impressive longevity. A clean, saline finish leaves refreshing impressions of zesty lime, white peach, and orange marmalade.
Pair this sophisticated blend with citrus-ginger lobster, creamy shellfish pasta, or lemon-herb roast chicken. It offers immediate elegance while promising rewarding development for those who choose to cellar it.
