The 'Hildegard' is a fabulous white blend compose of 55% Pinot Gris, 35% Pinot Blanc and 10% Aligote that was aged in new french oak. It begins with a gorgeous seductive nose that gives off aromas of ripe apples, pear, lime zest along with nuances of hazelnut, honey, vanilla, and wild flowers. On the palate this displays a beautiful creamy texture backed by flavors of orchard fruits, honey and citrus all coming together in the long bright finish. While this is simply delightful today there is no reason to believe it won't drink beautifully with some bottle age.
