Wine Review: When a $14 bottle of wine impresses me I need to do 2 things. The first thing to do is to tell you about it and the second thing is to add it the KWG Practical Party Case. This light yellow wine opens with a light lemon like bouquet. On the palate is where this wine really catches your attention. It is light bodied, well balanced, nicely integrated acidity and flavors. Those flavors are citrus like with light lime shining thru the most. There is also some distinctive mineral notes to add some character. The finish is dry and lingers slightly. This wine is a versatile food wine that I could envision pairing perfectly with either sole or halibut. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This wine is pale yellow in colour with green reflections. it has the pleasant aroma that characterises the variety, with exotic fruit notes and a trace of meadow flowers. Slightly spicy, well-structured and full in the mouth, it has a lingering finish on the palate.
