A fresh, balanced and velvety white with lemons, white peaches, warm herbs and mild spices on the nose. It's medium- to full-bodied with an oily texture to the flavorful mid-palate. Baked lemons meet a lift of verbena and spices. Plenty of weight here, with a delicious, caressing texture to the peachy finish. Drink or hold.
