Winery Review:
"Fresh, crisp and clean with zesty flavors of ripe tropical fruits, especially passionfruit and pineapple with subtle hints of green herbs. The wine is intensely flavored with balanced mouthwatering acidity and a generous finish."
My Review:
It is very refreshing wine with a touch of sweetness, but not too much and way less than in other white wine varietals. The nose is full of pear aromas and smells like white grape juice but specifically like sparkling white grape juice. There is definitely a good amount of acidity and some earthy/herb flavors as well. Green apple and lemon may also be present in the taste. It has a very light body and a moderately long finish. Tannins are low and the acidity can be sharp at sometimes, but it is otherwise balanced decently. I didn't have it with any food, but maybe it would have helped cut down the acidity.
