Tasting notes:

Aromatics of honeysuckle and butterscotch merge with tropical fruit with a pineapple twist. The smooth entry glides into a creamy mouthfeel with just a touch of bright acidity. Melon, pineapple, lychee nuts and caramel flavors blend with a lovely limoncello essence that appears mid-palate and lingers into the finish.
The balance of richness and acidity make this an ideal food wine—be it butter-drenched fresh cracked crab or chicken Caesar salad.
