Pale lemon, with a delicate, persistent bead. Enjoy now or cellar for additional complexity through 2034+ Guy McMaster An exquisite nose of nectarine, citrus blossom, fennel, praline, sourdough and yellow-fleshed plums. WINEMAKER FOOD PAIRING Great with sushi, canapés and caviar, and perfect with oysters natural.
