Our 2021 “White Label” is quite pretty, with a ton of white spring flower initially on the aromatics. As the wine opens, notes of baker’s yeast, lemon zest, and tart apricot take over the bouquet, creating depth and complexity. The palate boasts flavors of tart strawberry and lemon, with fine bubbles filling out the midpalate and creating a playful tension against the naturally bright acidity. The finish is crisp and zippy, with candied fruit and a ton of length.
