Serge Hochar describes his White wines as his 'First Reds'. They are to be served at room temperature, they will go well with more foods, they are more serious and their dimensions are way bigger than any of his reds.
The colour of this vintage is brilliant gold and the nose is honey, roasted almonds, pine nuts and apricots. The aromas follow through the palate which is ripe apricots, honey, nuts and caramalised oranges. The rich fruit palate is balanced with a fresh acidity and this wine has very long length.
This is a remarkably unique wine - firmly structured and startlingly concentrated.
Musar recommend that the wine be decanted prior to drinking.
