Winery review: Bright salmon pink; typical of the fresh but warm Provence style. Refined and complex on the nose, with summer fruit and floral notes. Dry and crisp, with a delicate flavor and full texture.
My review: The very first thing that I noticed about this wine was that it was a peach color- very unusual. Even more unusual was that the first flavor that really jumped out at me was peaches, followed by a hint of melon. The flavors of the wine led me to believe that it would be slightly fizzy/mineral but it is not. The finish is sharp at first and then mellows out. I opted to purchase a bottle of this wine!
