Winery review: Light and young, this is a straightforward but enjoyable selection that would be an ideal match for light fare such as grilled chicken salads or fluke. Apple flesh, nectarine, and sweet citrus oil aromasand flavors appear on the nose and palate, while the short finish is infused with a flavor of green melon rind.
My review: This wine is best described as a cross between flavors that I associate with Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer . It is buttery like a Chardonnay yet has a sharp acidic bite more similar to a Gewurztraminer. The finish was definitely fruity but difficult to place exactly what fruit variety or varieties. I would probably try this wine with seafood.
Food: None
