Shop/wine critic/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 flavours 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: The
smell is very strong for a white. It’s a nice rich fruity aroma. I could detect
the peach, but most of the other things specifically mentioned in the review escaped
me. The taste is disappointing after the nice smell. This was gross. It was
overly tangy with a sweet aftertaste. The tang killed anything that could have
been nice.
CONCLUSION: Wouldn't drink again.
Not tasted with food
