A nose of ripe pineapple with hints of toasty oak. Richer and rounder than many Sauv. Blancs, this wine from Lava Cap Winery coats the palate with flavors of pineapple creme, melon, toasty oak and baking spice with just a hint of crisp acidity…somewhat chardonnay-esque.
A medium-bodied Chardonnay offering up a nose of apple pie and baking spices. A fairly round mouth-feel with flavors of apple pie, baking spices, ripe red apple, roasted pineapple, lime, and tropicals with well-balanced acidity.
Verdelho is a white grape originally from Portugal that produces a crisp wine. A satisfying nose of ripe pineapple. Crisp on the palate with a semi-round mouth-feel followed by well balanced flavors of pineapple, citrus, tropical and minerality with enough zippy acid to make it a good food pairing wine. It paired very well with our meal of boiled shrimp with 3 sauces.
