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.
My Review: This wine kicked off with a burst of aroma! On the nose...tropical. Since the burst of smell was so loud, it was hard to decipher individual smells, but it smelled great! On the tongue, this wine was tropical, with tastes of melon and apples. It was sweet with slight acidity, but much smoother on the second try. The taste of this wine was so distinct, that I felt like I needed to pair it with some sort of food. I would want to try this again with food before deciding whether I really like it or not. Overall, this was a fun, decently tasting wine. It was tasted on its own without food.
