Wine Description

The growing season in the Casablanca Valley was marked by slightly cooler temperatures in the spring with low rainfall. Vines were delayed in their
growth cycle, but flower set and small, high quality clusters soon emerged. Low temperatures helped to preserve the delicate aromas of this white varietal,
revealing truly outstanding quality.

Acclaim
Tropical fruit, gooseberry and green apple make for a nice nose, while the palate is solid and crisp as it emphasizes apple, citrus and green melon flavors. A touch of pepper on the finish seals the deal on this light and friendly wine.
