TASTING NOTES
Upfront quince, green apple and stone fruit aromas embodied
with nuances of orange blossom. Anna has a dominating midpalate with a racy acidity with hints of toasted coconut due to
the extended lees contact and barrel maturation.
FOOD PAIRING
The balance of candied fruit and full mouth feel lends this
wine to elegant pairings of sweet desserts and dairy based
white meat meals. Examples of which include nutty almond
Nougat, gooseberry cheesecake with berry preserves and
mild, butter chicken curry, creamy shellfish or fresh whole
baked line-fish dishes.
