Pressed to stainless steel before maturing in 10% new French oak, avoiding malolactic fermentation. Pomelo segments, white peach and winter melon. Yellow plum and rainier cherries. The orchard fruit is ripe on the palate without heading into tropical territory. Acidity bright but not shrill considering the lack of malo. A juicy nectarine almond torte vibe. A hint of cashew cream and chalky finish. This is looking pretty sharp this vintage, excellent for the price. Drink now and will cellar around 5-6 years. Serve with a garlicky pizza bianca.
