A gorgeous wine, the 2017 Batàr is soft, open-knit and alluring from the first taste. Apricot, chamomile, mint, peach and dried herbs are all finely knit in the 2017. Although the 2017 will improve in bottle, it is already accessible and easy to enjoy. The interplay of textural richness and freshness makes for a beguiling white.

Baking spice and apple flavors mark this straightforward, accessible white, which is balanced on the soft side and creamy in texture, with deftly drawn oak notes. The finish echoes the spice blend. Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. Drink now. 1,250 cases made, 300 cases imported.
