It feels so good to be reunited with this exciting, delicious White from Steve and Jill Matthiasson. It had been several years and to my delight, it is as good, if not better than before. This is my kind of White and one that my palate never tires from drinking, no matter how many glasses I enjoy. The varietals all come together with mineral notes alongside citrus and stone fruits. It’s extremely drinkable thanks to Steve’s expert blending of Sauvignon Blanc, Ribolla Gialla, Semillon and Tocai Friulano. “The Sauvignon Blanc brings a clean fresh citrusy acidity and some tropical character. The Ribolla Gialla brings seashell minerality, nuttiness, and structure to the blend. The Semillon contributes viscosity and waxiness that adds gravity and weight. The Tocai Friulano adds spicy aromatic notes. The acidity and fruit expression are balanced by a rich lees character and a faint backdrop of creamy oak. There is interplay in the wine between lightness and richness and focus and complexity.”
