Made from the white grape Malvasia Bianca, this skin-contact wine is deep gold in colour and comes from Buhl Memorial Vineyard in Yavapai County. The grapes ferment on their skins for ten days in stainless steel. Honeyed melon, honeysuckle, orange peel, citrus oil and lilac are present. The profile is layered, with some astringency on the finish.
