Catalanesca (100%)
“Heady, fragrant aromas; apple and pear are announced by notes of honeysuckle and jasmine with grass and nettle following after. Oilier and more polished than the estate’s other white wines. Moderate concentration of orchard fruit with a finish of candied lime, lemon zest, fern and juniper. A subtle, complex wine with reasonably long finish.”
91 Paul Caputo
