Winemaking Notes
With aromas of ripe cantaloupe and green melon with a hint of lime zest, this multiple Gold medalist is perfect with prosciutto and cantaloupe, or seafood risotto.
Tasting Notes
Whole cluster pressing followed by a slow, 30-day fermentation in all stainless steel brought forward intense aromas of ripe cantaloupe and green melon. Flinty and floral qualities intertwined with a light herbal component enhance the lively mid-palate with a firm acid structure and lingering finish. Enjoy this wine solo, or with prosciutto and cantaloupe, a seafood risotto with wild mushrooms, or baked salmon with a fresh tomato and sorrel beurre blanc.
