Winery Review: Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.
My Review: In my opinion, this was by far the best wine that I tasted at the Vintage Cellar on January 30th. I found it to be a very light-bodied wine with smooth tropical flavors. I particularly noticed the essence of pear in the wine, while I didn't detect as much of an apricot taste as the winery review would suggest. In addition, I tasted some very subtle melon notes in the wine, which made it all the more enjoyable. Excellent wine for the price!
I tasted this on its own with no food.
