Thanks to coastal influences, a pronounced minerality and salinity rounds out the finish. Natural acidity makes the taste linger on the palate and will have you reaching for another glass! Lovely to drink on its own or a perfect pair for all kinds of fresh seafood dishes. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn m ...

TASTING NOTES:
Tropical Fruit
Mineral
Grapefruit
Tropical fruit flavors of mango and pineapple are complemented by a slight salinity and minerality from maritime influences off of the Atlantic Ocean. Citrus notes of sweet grapefruit and candied lime hit the palate, balancing with delicate acidity. "Green notes on the nose. Citrus, stone fruits, chalky minerality, long finish and juicy acidity." -Allison Levine, 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition
