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: Hint of pear on the nose but most memorable smell is that of flowers and roses. With the taste, pears and apple are the most dominant fruits coming through along with a beat of tartness that is more citrus centered. Very thin texture with a flavor that doesn't linger long after the finish. I enjoyed the mix of sweet and acidic that was present. I tasted this wine alone with no food.
