Good bright fruit of apples and citrus. Slightly oaked. Good QPR.

Hmmm. Well not a favorite but I may of had a purloined pallet.
I’m getting a hint of lemon and oak.

Lightly oaked. Nice balance of creaminess and acidity. Good pairing with steamed mussels.

This wine offers expressive orange flavors as well as pear, & honey dew. The lasting flavor leaves a snappy acidic after taste. Overall this wine offers an exceptional balance, & I would highly recommend.
