Winery Review: Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body. Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish. Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, seafood and a great partner for spicy food as well.
My Review: This wine had a wonderfully vibrant nose that reminded me of fresh apples. It was a very refreshing wine that had a smooth, delicate taste. I was particularly struck by the floral hints present in the wine, as well as the acidic finish. I think the winery review was spot on when it suggested that this wine be paired with spicy foods - I imagine that it would pair wonderfully! Overall, a very nice wine!
I tasted this on its own with no food.
