 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: Crisp smell with pears and green apple present.  On the first taste, a tart and somewhat bland flavor that turns sweeter.  More fruit flavor with each sip.  Crisp, clear finish with very little aftertaste but some of the alcohol does come through.  A somewhat dry white wine overall, would be interesting to try it with food next time.
