California Picual (Mild)

Tasting Notes:

This small batch California Picual was harvested from groves in Esparto California, Yolo County. Made from exceedingly green fruit, it displays bold fruity aromas despite its delicate nature as well as exemplary chemistry including the lowest possible documented FFA, a testament to the perfect condition of the fruit. The antioxidant-squalene content is also remarkably high. Notes include green banana and stone fruit.
