Tasting Notes: An elegant lighted perfumed example of Chenin Blanc with symphonic notes of jasmine, apple blossom and a whiff of peach. Medium bodied with well-balanced, refreshing acidity. Expect the senses to find quince, lemon, with lingering flavors of summer melon and persimmon. Hints of oak with characters of fresh brioche. Great long finish.
