This wine is all about highlighting the wonderful and lively Shop Block fruit, and fun quaffing. It leads with aromas of fresh white peaches and honeydew melon, with a touch of caramel cream. In the mouth, the stone fruit theme continues, along with bright acidity and a touch of cleansing grip that the variety is known for. The fact that it’s barrel fermented imparts a bit of thickness in the mouth, but the lack of new wood allows the clean fruit to shine through to the refreshing finish. This wine’s bright freshness makes it truly versatile, great for enjoying on its own by the pool or hot tub (just chill slightly), or with everything from salads and appetizers to light summer dinners of petrale sole, shrimp stir-fry, and grilled vegetables. 90 points, Wine Enthusiast.
