Pale lemon with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with notes of floral perfume spice. On the palate flavors of floral fruits, citrus and slight nutty character. Lively acidity, medium finish ending with tart fruit character with nutty tones.

Tons of fruit on the mid palate. Orange, white pepper, flower blossoms and melon. Lacked depth.

Great vibrancy on the nose with subtle peach, pear, and minerality, as well as some dandelion. A firm but welcoming and refreshing acidity pairs with juicy peach and a round mouthfeel with some oak. As it warms in the glass, more ripe peach and some soft florals emerge.. This is the kind of white that does it for me.. Bravo.

Pale straw-hued. Aromas and flavors of cream, honey, lychee, papaya, and pear. Medium-plus body and medium acidity. Sweet and inviting on the nose, with a mineral, mouthwatering finish.

Tasted pears. Fruity. It did lack depth but it had better flavor than other whites.

Best rendition of this wine yet! Peaches and wild flowers with a touch of honey. A nice white to crack open when you don't know what to crack
