The wine was partially fermented in French oak barrels, and a portion underwent malolactic fermentation for additional complexity and richness. The wine has abundant floral, honeysuckle and pineapple characteristics. Dry and fashionable, this has a dusty, minerally character and high acidity that's reminiscent of a good Chablis. The cool, long vintage resulted in subtle peach, pear, pineapple and spice flavors.
