Description

The grape for this wine arrived from a 50-year-old southern plantation. Pineapple sweetness, sweet lime, fiery minerality, and a hint of salt. Gorgeous, well-rounded. Her voluptuous body, bathed in golden light, promises a night of pleasure, yet for some reason you sense you won’t want to part with her even afterward. You’d hoped for a casual fling, yet you surrender to her as she gently opens up, giving you time to understand. You like that she doesn’t rush you.”
