Ales Kristancic harvests the sauvignon blanc for this wine late to maximize ripeness, and ages the wine on its lees in French oak barriques for 18 months. During that time, it gains a creamy texture that softens its white-peach and juicy citrus flavors. Cooling notes of cucumber and rosemary emerge as the wine’s brisk acidity propels the flavors through the long finish. It feels both creamy and mineral, a combination that would be delicious with the meaty sweetness of scallops or lobster.
