Shop Review: 30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apples flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables.
My Review: On the nose, this wine was very fruity and had some floral notes as well. On the palate, it had an oak flavor which was due to the way in which this wine was stored. The buttery flavors definitely came out from the type of fermentation this wine underwent.
With or Without Food: Without food
