Shop 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 an 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: Definitely very floral, the cacophony of fruits aromas ranges through flavors of honey, peach, pear and rose only to do a 180 as the sweet smells vanish on the palate leaving behind an interesting dry structure with a medium acidity and a drawn out citrus finish.
