Wine Review: This wine was a hit at the Newport Wine Festival. This light yellow wine opens with a fresh light green apple like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is round, refreshing, and has pleasant light lime like flavors with hints of grapefruit. The finish is very fresh and has wonderful lasting bright acidity. Enjoy this bargain wine with grilled marinated lemon chicken. – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Dry, with hints of passionfruit and gooseberries, with a crisp, plate-cleansing finish. Sancerre style.
