Sun Gate

The state of California is by far the most important producer of wine in the USA. Its grape growers succeed in many differing environments up and down the state from the fog influenced coastal valleys of Sonoma, Napa and Carneros, to the hot irrigated <...

A light bodied wine with crisp acidity, buttery Golden Delicious 'Tarte aux Pommes' characters - full mouthfeel and a lively finish. Lemon/lime/apple on the nose, with a delicious freshness on the palate.
Ideal with fish or fresh cheeses.
