    Lemon curd and citrus blossom ride over underripe melon and apple on the nose. The creamy and full palate is a result of extended lees contact, while flavors of honeydew and lemon lead to a sea-spray finish. A perfect pairing for the Eastern Shore's local fare of raw oysters.

    Notes of honeysuckle, apple, Meyer lemon and legume dominate the nose, with a tropical fruit aroma arriving late. Medium bodied, the palate showcases zippy acidity that will pair well with chicken scallopini served with white beans and rosemary.
