Shop review: Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body. Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish. Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, seafood and a great partner for spicy food as well.
My review: This wine smelled and tasted strongly of honeydew, with some hints of apple. The strength of this white wine surprised me with my first taste, and had a noticeable kick. Despite the boldness, the aftertaste was fairly fruity and pleasant. I would order this wine again, although it is not a favorite.
