Not difficult to spot this one on the shelf, the bright blue bottle a nod to the coastal location of this winery, and the influence of the Atlantic on the wine style. So refreshing, this is all about ocean breezes and sea spray, crisp acidity and a lick of salinity, but there's also an attractive weight of fresh peachy fruit. Crack open some shellfish and pour a glass.
