This wine is fragrant and clean with exotic melon, apricot, yellow plum and pear with herbal and beeswax aromas rounding it out. The palate continues with poached pear and floral notes with touches of chamomile, honey and almond skin. This is weighty with spice notes reminiscent of gewürztraminer yet it remains restrained with a pleasant bitterness on the longer finish.
