This is a new listing. A generous aroma of ripe yellow pear, with floral notes and a touch of anise, as well as an underlying confection such as banana Popsicle. This pinot blanc is fairly full bodied, initially fleshy and lively with a dash of carbon dioxide spritz. It then finishes with
a raspy and coarse feel. Good length.
