The 2010 harvest was marked by a cool late spring, which delayed bud break. The berry size was unusually small, however, slightly more clusters than typical, produced a near normal crop. The resulting wine is intense and elegant.
TASTING NOTES
Lovely aromas of pear, golden apple, honeycomb, lemon zest and brioche lead to a very round palate and a long silky finish.
FOOD PAIRING
We recommend pairing it with rich double and triple cream or goat cheeses. Perfect with just a few toasted nuts, it will also enhance simple to complex meals. Oysters, poultry and even meat dishes work well and we suggest trying it with oriental cuisine.
