Nascent White Blend

Nascent is the estate’s defining statement in a blended white wine, which owes its inspiration to Octagon’s achievement in our reds, and its existence to the worthiness of varietals we’ve developed in our signature style, from winegrowing to fermentation to blending to aging. Like Octagon, Nascent draws on varietals of the most consistent success, confirmed in international competitions and criticism since the turn of the century. In color, Nascent shows brilliant medium and bolder straw yellow. On the nose are effusive, warm floral tones, lemon peel, candied orange peel, ripe pear, anise, and rose petal. Its taste is very fresh, becoming savory, with medium rich body yet dry; the aftertaste lingers for well over a minute, with notes of citrus, pear, and rose, leaving a deeply satisfied, but intrigued and refreshed palate
