There’s fine concentration to this white, lending viscosity to the texture and embracing flavors of peach, white flowers and honeydew melon. Light baking spice and pastry notes linger on the finish.

"Aromas of honeysuckle, peach and baking spices draw you in, while orchard fruit, citrus and spice flavors hold your attention. Polished and harmonious, this white glides to the lingering aftertaste. Drink now through 2030. 110 cases imported."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2025
