The nose opens with concentrated aromas of yellow citrus, green papaya, and white pear. Subtle hints of white floral notes, quince, and fresh hay add beautiful aromatic complexity. On the palate, this wine offers a weighty, mouth-coating texture filled with flavors of lemon curd, Granny Smith apple, and loquat. Rich honeycomb notes emerge on the mid-palate, while a crunchy streak of watermelon rind provides brilliant freshness and length. Serve this versatile Chenin Blanc slightly chilled. It pairs magnificently with succulent roast chicken, fresh West Coast seafood, and creamy wild mushroom risottos. The bright acidity and rich texture also complement nutty, savory cheeses like mature Cheddar, artisanal Gruyère, and tangy baked feta.
