This grape, here nurtured in its homeland, evokes sea breeze with its delicate briny character joining a mix of stone fruit and citrus on a creamy midpalate that finishes with clarion acidity that will have you reaching for the oyster plate. It’s got a way of taking you to the ocean shore in your mind – not a bad place to go! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
