A beautiful pale golden yellow with greenish highlights. Aromas of nectarine, peach & grapefruit abound with hints of roasted peanuts & some subtle funk. A soft entry leads to a delicate palate of peach upfront, hints of apple, pear and unsalted pistachios throughout supported by balanced & well integrated oak with a mouth watering mineral finish.
