"Bright citrus; Green guava; White flowers; Musky, Granny Smith apples." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Aged in Stainless steel with a very small percentage of aging in Acasia which provides structure. This wine is the perfect expression of the Italian style Vermentino grape. The very best white wine for food. Enjoy savory and creamy floral, apricot and citrus with a jasmine finish. Refreshing and cleansing. This grape is becoming more popular and has all of the qualities of a Sauvignon Blanc with a beautiful finish. It is one of the finest Italian white wines with origins from Sardinia and the Ligurian coastline. Excellent with oysters, clams, mussels, or a summer fresh salad. The wine is gentle, like a summer breeze off the Mediterranean. Drink now or up to 2 years." 

Alcohol: 13%
