Tasting Notes: "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 aromas and flavors appear on the nose and palate, while the short finish is infused with a flavor of green melon rind."
My review: I liked this wine because it was different from the white wines I'm used to tasting in the sense that it had a very high acidity, high alcohol content and a very significant aftertaste. The green melon really came out at the finish. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to expand their white palate.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
