Cipes is a blend of Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc.
Nose of golden delicious and Granny Smith apples, pear, brioche, Meyer lemon zest.
On the palate, lemony citrus zest mingles with the apples. Notes of white nectarine comes through on continued drinking. The time on lees brings added depth of bread notes, white mushrooms. Vibrant acidity, fine mousse, however a nice creamy mouthfeel as well.
As not bone-dry, this is delightful on its own, but will pair nicely with many foods - lemon roast chicken with herbs comes to mind.
Fairly complex for this price point - a winner!
