Blanc

The wine

Low acid is the shape of this wine. Soft and slightly sweet, with pear, apple, and white flowers in the smell, and a finish that is short, peachy, and only lightly fruity. The softness has little acid to push against.

Pear and apple, with white flowers. A quiet nose. Nothing sharp. Orchard fruit that has been calmed down, flowers that stay light.

The palate follows that calm. Soft. Slightly sweet. Acid that is low to moderate, a gentle frame rather than a Sauvignon cut. The fruit is easy. Then peach shows up at the end, lightly, and leaves. The peach is the finish, not the smell. It is the one specific note after a general softness.

Drink it cold if you want the pear to stay distinct. Even cold, the wine is round and short. Pleasant, and not vivid. The flowers never become perfume. The peach never becomes the whole wine. A soft white with a small sweet middle and a brief peachy close. A second sip repeats the softness, the slight sweetness, and that small peach at the end. That is all it has, and it is consistent about it. Pear, apple, white flowers, a soft sweet middle, and a short peach at the end.
