Tasting Notes
The palate is full and bright, with the smell of vanilla, apples, and melon, teeming with luscious lemon crème brûlée. Oak fermentation added creaminess and a hint of spice and smoky notes on the finish. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels for over 12 months prior to bottling.
