Tasting notes

Pour a glass and enjoy the lovely floral and honey aromatics with soft hints of lemon zest, green apple and toasty oak. Then savor a sip as you taste bright citrus, peach, honey, pear and creamy marshmallow flavors. This medium bodied wine is balanced with good acidity—making it refreshing by itself or perfect with food. The rich and juicy finish provides the perfect end to this delightful wine.

Rating

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 87 points (May 2012) Fruity, lush, medium-bodied and round. Ripe citrus flavors dance on the palate. A bold wine that will drink well with Asian food.
