A surprisingly floral nose offers up citrus blossoms with gentle gooseberry aromas. Indian River Ruby Red grapefruit, orange blossoms, and that same gentle hint of gooseberry are on the palate. Tangy Meyer Lemon and Key Lime, dusted with chalk, make a lingering finish. Minerality and the understated influence of gooseberry will remind people far more of Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre than New Zealand. Drink with grilled Tilapia.
