Wine Description
In 1906, Sidney Wilcox built the estate homestead, Mulyoulpko (meaning “home by the water”), where he lived while farming the local land and streams, sending the vegetables and fish to the city restaurants and markets. Made specifically to pair with food, these wines are opulent in style and seamlessly balanced for fine dining.
The nose delights with subtle fragrances of peach, melon and nuanced vanilla, creating an inviting aromatic embrace. A succulent palate cradled with nutty toast and a subtle minerality. The journey concludes with a long and smooth finish, characteristic of this medium-bodied white wine.
