I really did love this. Perfect solo, slightly sweet.

Much lighter than anticipated but in a fun and refreshing way. Almost a slight earthiness on this like a real natural fog note. The most interesting is a balsamic vinegar note in a good way. Light but fresh. I wonder if this has a kiss of va. If it does then this is the kind of wine I want that on. Have 2 more bottles and will look into it more. It’s lightness reminded me more of traditional (Lopez heredira) but style wise it wasn’t quite as elegant but still good. The slight earthiness was great.
