Wine Review: This wine opens with a terrific floral bouquet with a hint of Lychee. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, tasty, and citrusy (leaning towards lemony). The finish is dry and tingly. This wine is a very refreshing summer wine to enjoy poolside. It would be a great glass pour option for your favorite restaurant. This wine is a really good buy. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Crisp and clean, with bright acidity to balance the rich tropical flavors. This wine pairs well with fish, shrimp and chicken on the grill, or serve it as an aperitif with smoked trout or cheddar cheese.
