This delicious white is a superb food-friendly pick, made by two sisters now in their 70s. Comforting aromas of stone fruits, lanolin and sweet spices combine with a waxy, subtly textured, intense and creamy palate full of grilled pineapple and citrus zest then a tight and saline finish with bright acidity.
