From the Importer: 

"This wine is a sensual delight with an incredible variety of aromatics and an initial entry with a luscious and refreshing saturated mouthfeel.  Aromas include white flowers, camellia, honeysuckle, clover honey, pineapple, sweet white grapefruit, candied lemon, and hints of lime and sweet cherries.  Flavors include honeydew melon, white peaches, pears, green apples, and poached quince.  After the really fun initial impression, the wine does seem to “calm down” a bit as there is then a very pleasant medium body, good balance and acidity, and its minerality makes it very versatile with food." 

Pairing Suggestions: Seafood, veal, pork and creamy pasta dishes.
