Description: Gold in colour with medium+ intensity on the nose.

Positives: Medium toasted oak with lemon, apples, pineapples, buttery popcorn, light smoke, and limestone. Medium+ body with good acidity and medium+ finish.

Negatives: Too much sourness on the finish.

Drink now on its own or pair it with chicken Alfredo.
