Impressions:
The rare Baroque grape compliments Gros Manseng to produce an intensely aromatic wine that offers a rich, full-bodied palate balanced by a crisp acidity. Expect a sophisticated profile featuring notes of pear butter, apple sauce, and white flowers, with underlying nuances of beeswax, hazelnut, and a tangy, saline finish. Complex and textured, this one is recommended to pair with rich, cream-based dishes.
