Pale straw color. Aromas of light tropical fruit and yellow apple with floral highlights. Medium-bodied with fresh, juicy fruit flavors of tropical citrus, pear and perfectly ripe apple. Nicely rounded edges give a light toasty softness to the moderately long, mineral-driven finish.
Description: The beginning of the 2020 growing season was defined by copious rainfall and late soil moisture. The long, warm summer saw very few extreme heat events, with foggy mornings setting the stage for vibrant and expressive wines. The relatively mild finish to the season helped to preserve freshness and finesse in the fruit. All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and ample texture.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of orange blossom and melon join flavors of golden delicious apple, pear, and hints of citrus marmalade and ginger. Medium-bodied with a soft, round texture and long finish.
