Drinking Window: 2023 - 2026
A well-crafted blend of Viosinho, Gouveio, Rabigato and other white varieties from a Symington-owned vineyard in Provesende. Fermented in oak and left on the lees until bottling, the subtle creaminess and spicy seam add complexity to the lychee, white peach and pear fruit. Pleasant crunchy bite with a vibrant acid lift. Vegan.
