2019 Nectar
This wine handles spicy as well as dessert.
Tasting notes
This crystal-clear, pale-straw colored wine has the lush aromas of summer pomme fruit with the faintest hint of minerality on the end. Honeycrisp apple is the main fruit on the mid palate and the wine finishes with a lingering flavor of ripe Anjou pear and honey. You will be pleasantly surprised by the smooth texture, reminiscent of ice cream.
Other notes
Food Pairings: This versatile wine allows for savory and sweet pairings. Pair with spicy shrimp tacos, braised tri-tip with mango/habanero salsa, strong cheeses and spicy sausage. Dessert is apple pie or poached pears with shortbread cookies. Best served chilled.
