Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Dandelion, cashew, and dried apricot waft from the glass and quickly garner the attention of the lucky taster. On the palate, it delivers a refreshing peach and wood sorrel enriched acidity to match a surprisingly full body.

Food Pairing Notes
An excellent choice for quiche or, if you happen to be visiting the Bolero Restaurante, Patatas Bravas!
