Ladera Dry White Wine 2010

Ripe apples and citrus blossom on the nose, on the palate dried orange peel and a characteristic nuttiness, with full texture brought on by natural alcoholic and partial malo-lactic fermentation. Good balance, lingering aftertaste.

This wine is zesty enough to enjoy with salads and white meat dishes as an alternative to SavBlanc, but also rich enough for spicy Thai curries
