Pairings Happy hour, brunch, Eggs Benedict

Beautiful mousse with juicy notes of lychee & pineapple and a creamy toasty roundness to the fresh acidity. Real talk: this wine is delicious. Like a perfect gift, a perfect weeknight bottle, a perfect wine for celebration. I always get really excited when I find a wine where the quality far exceeds the price... this is one of those wines.
