Tasting Notes
This graceful Colombar has notes of white peach, golden delicious apple, pineapple, fresh hay and lemongrass the palate has tension, like a tightly wound spring, and is alive with texture and natural acidity best served between 10 and 13 °C. If consuming this wine within the first 3 years after bottling, decanting will greatly benefit the wine
