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: This white had a very dominant nose, having peach and floral notes. I was expecting a very in-your-face wine here but the delicateness of this one surprised me. It was dry, acidic, with light hints of citrus. Because of the acidity it wasn’t my favorite.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
