A gleaming straw-yellow color, this wine smells delightfully of aloe and dried lemon peel. The palate is a bit candied, with suggestions of lemon curd and lemon cough s. The tangy acidity does a nice job of harnessing the medium-plus body and medium alcohol. It’s not a thirst-quenching style, but it will pair beautifully at the table with richer foods, like the sweet meat of certain shellfish. Drink now–2018.
