Tasting Note:
A vibrant white with aromatic nose of juicy red Anjou pear, ripened red apples and sliced golden quince. Soft on the acidity with well-balanced integration of flavor, texture and body showing purity and finesse across the palate, offering a lingering, delightful finishing. A surprisingly powerful single vineyard wine that reflects the beautiful wine-producing area where the Black Birch mountain stream flows by the Awatere Valley.
Food Pairing:
Grilled white fish, steamed shellfish, avocado salad, soft cheeses and pan-seared foie gras
