People (including myself) should just shut the fuck up and drink wine that is like this. I don't give a damn about pyrazines or whatever else people are saying in their tasting notes... this stuff states really delicious! The body is rich, and the acid is there. You won't not like it. Drink with me.

Very lightly acidic, clean and crisp. It has soft hints of white grapes and honeydew melons. Perfect for sipping and pairs well with poultry, meat dishes and nuts - has a lasting impression before gently dissipating with a pleasantly delicate aftertaste.

Fantastic white. Has something to it (other than oak) unlike so many white out there. Great fruit but extremely well balanced.
