Nose is floral and inviting but the flavors in the mouth are fat, soapy lavender and oily and flat. WF

Floral aromatics like Muscat or Torrontes. Blossoms and stone fruit. Fuller bodied but with ample acidity.

Follow up on this one; really sweet, tropical notes on the nose with lychee and sweet melon. The palate has great acidity and drive. Pairs amazing with ginger and sushi. Probably can stand up to some spice even though it is a dry wine.

Light and refreshing. No finish, but okay if you’re glugging.

The gorgeous aromatics and wonderful acid always make up for the sweetness in this wine.
