Wine Review: This very pale yellow colored wine opens with a very fragrant and attractive lychee bouquet with notes of grapefruit. This wine is medium bodied, balanced, and round. The flavor profile is a lychee and pear blend with a touch of green apple. The finish is dry and some mineral notes sneak into the aftertaste. This wine suggested pairing this wine with quiche lorraine or roast pork with homemade applesauce. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This vintage has a very delicate straw color. Aromas of fresh flowers, kiwi and jasmine with citrus notes of lime and grapefruit are followed by flavors of roses, nectarine and orange zest. On the palate, there is a floral entry that is delicate, soft and coating leading to an elegant, persistent finish. Complex and graceful, this is a wonderful match for delicate fish and shellfish, Nicoise salad, polenta and Asian fusion cuisine.
