Winery Review: Light and young, this is a straightforward but enjoyable selection that would be an ideal match for light fare such as grilled chicken salads or fluke. Apple flesh, nectarine, and sweet citrus oil aromas and flavors appear on the nose and palate, while the short finish is infused with a flavor of green melon rind.
My Review: On the nose, I was able to pick up scents of apples or other semi-citrus fruits. Given the fruit smell and that the wine was white, I expected a sweet wine, but instead, found it to be a bit bland. There was an oak undertone in the wine as well.
With Food?: No.
