Product Description
Gold medal winner at the 2018 New York International Wine Competition
Sun-kissed golden color, this wine shows aromatics of lemon-meringue crossed with golden poached pear and white peach. Its lean entry opens to explosive flavors of citrus zest, orange blossom with subtle yet structured, lingering oak finish.
Balanced and complex, this wine is drinkable now, but should age nicely for another 10 or more years.
Perfect with light and delicate food such as steamed or grilled fish and chicken.

The Sangiacomo’s Roberts Road Vineyard is a 130 acre vineyard that was initially planted in 1999. Because the fog can often remain until midday, the growing season is long and slow – allowing for nicely ripened fruit with balanced sugars and acids. The silty gravel soil is very well drained and the vineyard is Certified Sustainable – CSWA.
