Review from shopwinedirect.com:
This crisp and refreshing white maintains a start bright appearance. The nose offers intense aromatics of fresh cut white flowers, lemon zest, grapefruit peel and crisp apple. The palate is clean with medium weight and pleasant mouthfeel and lively acidity, pairing great with seafood or a light salad. Brilliant summertime sipper too.
My review: When sniffing and swirling this wine I noticed a somewhat strong woody flavor with a hint of sweetness. Upon further thought, I attributed the sweetness coming from maybe honey or a fruit, perhaps an apple or pear. When tasting the wine I immediately noticed that woody flavor, just like when I sniffed it. It took me a couple more sips to figure out more flavors, as this part was a bit harder to distinguish for me. I next noticed an fruity or floral taste, with a apple/pear-ish flavor. The aftertaste was also really strong but took me a couple tries to nail down. It was really smooth and tasted almost like bitter honey. I found that this wine had a medium body and I gave it a 7/10 overall score.
