Little Rock Blanc 2020

This blend of three cultivars combines harmoniously to produce a fresh and textured wine that has a pale straw green colour and shows complex fruit aromatics of granny smith apples, peaches, apricots and pineapple. The palate is elegant with balanced texture and acidity. This is an alluring wine that is both approachable and generous in all respects.
