This wine blends several grape varieties but is identified by its place of origin, the limestone-laced, biodynamically farmed Mambourg vineyard. Great vibrancy, with generous floral, honey and herbal aromas. Mid-weight, with lemon acidity and minerality hitting great length. Enjoy now or age a decade if you like mature whites. Allegro Wine Imports, 416-466-2720.
