Creamy texture from stirring on the lees, with smoke, cedar, vanilla and ginger undertones. Pineapple, poached pear and apple flavours, accented with cinnamon in the long finish.

Description: Gold in colour with medium+ intensity on the nose.

Positives: Medium toasted oak with lemon, apples, pineapples, buttery popcorn, light smoke, and limestone. Medium+ body with good acidity and medium+ finish.

Drink now on its own or pair it with chicken Alfredo.
