First sip and BAM, it’s like getting slapped in the face by a peach in the best way possible! Tangy, funky little number with peach, white wine and just enough sour zing. The aroma’s got that barnyard funk (Brett, baby!), and the golden glow is stunning. Almost too pretty to drink (almost). Aged in wine barrels? Fancy stuff, but it pays off.
