Online Review:
This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more.
- Winemaker's Notes
Personal Review:
The nose on this was full of fruits and flowers. The taste was fruity with a hint of a melon finish. It was very light and refreshing, and thankfully not overly acidic. That would have just ruined the balance.
