Our review: Very fragrant, this golden straw wine has aromas of tropical fruit (pineapple, banana, melon) with citrus floral notes. The fruit flavors dominate at first before a mild stone-like acidity develops. The finish is long but somewhat flat and uninspired.
Our rating: This is a delicious, food-friendly wine. We served our bottle with a vegetarian pizza made with freshly made herb dough, with which it paired quite nicely. Probably not best served alone, consider this wine as an accompaniment to any vegetarian dish, a risotto, or with lighter meals. We rate it on the very high side of Above Average.
Taste profile from the winemaker: "Colour: Clear straw yellow. Nose: Fine, fruity, flowery, white peach, acacia flower. Flavour: Dry, fresh, quite soft, medium-bodied, quite tasty."
