The prominent acidity is beautifully balanced with the highly concentrated, ripe citrus palate giving the wine great length and extreme freshness. Medium bodied and energetic, this wine is delicious on its own but will also pair wonderfully with fresh fish, seafood, summer salads, and light-medium spiced Indian or Thai cuisine. A fragrant and earthy wine, it will continue to develop for 10 + years showing more richness and secondary characteristics.
