Wet stone, mineral, and hints of apricot. May have left this in the cellar too long but still crisp and pleasant. This is a white wine that pleases my red wine loving brothers.

V14. Interesting wine. Toasty nose. Pear, apricot with a touch of honey fruit. Baking spice, with a touch of fusel oil. Nice.

Wet stone and floral notes backed by hints of stone fruit. Acidic and not sweet.

Floral and ripe nose, pithy orange on the palate. Awesome value.

A bit bland on its own, but picks up flavor of accompanying meal very nicely. Paired well with a spicy Octopus Kung-Pao

I would drink this as my favourite white if I could afford it all the time!

Like the loud friend who's a little too serious to party with. At first, you'd think it'll be an easy drink but it's just a little too floral to be that. As you drink the wine at its pace, you get bored with it before you're done.
