2005 Melon VQA

A slightly lemony aroma with hints of Granny Smith apple and banana. Flinty, “wet stone” character on the nose follows through on the palate. Linear, tight, crisp and fresh. Made to enjoy right away.

Winemaker's Notes

Cool fermented slowly to dryness. Settled and racked, filtered and bottled as young as possible. In order to capture this wine’s extreme youthfulness, it was minimally processed and will likely throw harmless tartrate crystals (wine diamonds) when chilled.


Food Pairings

This tiny quantity was made to satisfy proprietor Martin Malivoire’s desire for the quintessential oyster wine.
