Lovely straw color with golden tints. On the nose, aromas of winter melon, apricots, hints of citrus, and well-balanced oak spice. The wine is full-bodied and generous with some buttery notes, an abundance of fruit, and a long, very pleasant lingering finish.
Rich fish dishes especially shellfish, geelbek, cob, galleon, mussels and oysters work wonders. Also, delightful with Parmigiano-Reggiano, mild Cheddar and Gruyere cheese, curries with cream sauces, and rich chicken dishes. Serve cool, but not ice cold.
