Branco 2016
A blend of indigenous white varieties gives this waxy, rich white wine its aromas of grilled citrus and fresh orchard fruit. A blend from plots across the estate, this is a nuanced and complex wine that lingers on the palate with notes of white florals, roasted nuts, and fresh apples. Waxy, undulating textures leave grilled lemon, citrus, and tannin behind to coat the palate. Baby’s breath and gun powder on the nose, zesty apple skin and on the lingering finish
