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: The wine smells sweet like pears. Although upon first sip I felt the wine was very acidic and the alcohol was very noticeable in the wine. The alcohol did not seem to blend in with each sip. After getting past the initial acidic taste I noticed a green apple flavor. The wine was definitely drinkable, but not a wine I would want on a warm summer day.
I did not taste this wine with food.
