Blend of 50 % Pinot Gris & 50% Riesling
Aromatics start vibrant and herbal, lemon grass and flat leaf parsley mold into richer citrus tones of lemon verbena, key lime and orange blossom. Crushed sea shell puffs through on the tail end. Palate begins elegant, building weight and diverse tropical fruit through the mid palate, with the early start of acidity from the Riesling homogenizing beautifully with the Pinot Gris to keep the fruit energetic and focused for a lasting finish.
