Wine Review: This almost clear colored Muscat is a nice and affordable white option. It opens with a fragrant lychee and peach like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, acidic and slightly sweet. The flavor profile is a lychee and ripe peach blend with a touch of tart pineapple, apricot and dash of white pepper. The finish remains slightly sweet and its flavors linger for a while. This wine would pair well with spring rolls. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: A lively mosaic of citrus flavors such as kumquat and tangerine shine on the palate with hints of white flowers, pear and spice box notes. Richly layered and balanced, this wine has a delightful off-dry presence and long, enduring finish to pair perfectly with spicy foods.
