Bright floral, peach and spice aromas lead to a palate that is surprisingly dry for all the richness. It comes from the coolest spot in the Heart Hill vineyard, so it maintains bright acidity that gives the finish a nice push, where the peach and spice intermingle, and a touch of sea spray and soft leafy notes join the mix. A great food friendly example of Grenache Blanc that shows oak character in the best possible way. 150 cases produced, 100% Grenache Blanc.
