The complex nose leads with pomelo, lemon-tree flower, pineapple, oatmeal, fresh coconut, and vanilla pods underbuilt by a floral tone that underscores its minerality. Judiciously but unapologetically wooded, the blond toast characters complement the fruit. The zesty palate is softened by the lees contact, leading to a lingering finish. Typical Elgin cool-climate elegance.

This wine will complement fattier and rich fish dishes such as sashimi or prepared, as well as cooked shellfish. It works well with seared foie grass, complex salads, and most cheeses.

Will drink youthfully for the next 2-5 years and can be cellared up to 10 years.
