“Textured savoury medium-bodied wine without the excessive tannins or bitterness common to the style. Dried citrus and stone fruits spanning orange peel, apricot, and peach, mingle with chamomile tea on the nose and palate. A gentle grip and pleasing sapidity give the dry, elegant finish additional length.”
90 Lauren Mowery
