Vivacous lighter more refreshing wines may be sparkling, white or rosé, and also may be sweet or dry. However, all are on the brighter and tangier end of the flavor spectrum and will never feature oaky flavors.

FOOD PAIRING: Flattering with almost EVERYTHING, but best for RAW & COLD FOODS, LOW-FAT FOODS & SPICY FOODS.

The palate offers refreshing flavors of pink grapefruit, apricot and citrus zest. The finish is exhilirating with a touch of minerality and bright acidity leaving you lusting for more.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

The 2022 growing season began with ideal weather conditions through early summer, until an extended heat event beginning in late August accelerated the harvest and reduced yields for some varieties. Warm windy days brought an early harvest for those varietals that ripen early.
