Orin Swift - Blank Stare 2024 (750ml) Rioja AltaAn alluring pale, white gold shimmers in the glass with inviting aromas of white guava, gooseberries, freshly mown grass , kaffir lime and lemongrass. The entry of the 2023 Blank Stare is dominated by mouthwatering acidity and hints of lemon lime sorbet, starfruit, kiwi and grapefruit rind. A touch of crme fraiche as the palate transitions to a close is met with bright notes of key lime pie and pointed, satiating acidity. BLEND Sauvignon Blanc
