Winemakers Notes: Catherine Marshall

This elegant wine is bright, clean and full-bodied. Spending 7 months in small French oak barrels and receiving the age-old practice of batonage. The aromatics of sweet cantaloupe, nectarine with an underlying of nutmeg round off the bouquet. A flintiness with roasted hazelnut, ginger, orange blossoms, finishing with a racy lemon verbena on the palate. This wine is Vegan friendly.
