Linden Vineyards Petit Manseng Demi Sec
Medium gold color. Aromas of apricots and golden apples, topped in candle wax, honey, candied pecans and daisies. Gorgeous acidity on the palate, keeps it pristine and fresh against the creamy texture and rich, sweet fruit (orange, pineapple, apricots, glazed apples). Zesty, chalky tones are framed well against notes of honey and pineapple cake. Gorgeous depth but stays focused. Petit Manseng really is one of the best grapes for this style of wine.
