At tasting in Eugenia’s Garden Ukrainian Benefit flight (!). Extremely pale straw yellow looks almost like water. Floral herbaceous nose. Almost dry texture and profile. Decent finish.

Acid body mouthfeel is all there but lacking fruit or anything on the palate.

It was not to our liking because it was bone dry and little flavor. Disappointing! It is probably the nature of the grape, not the production.

Highly aromatic, like a scented candle - smells waxy, like white tea and flowers. The wine itself is a bit flat, off dry with a medium body and round mouthfeel. Not very much flavor-wise. Hints of ripe fruit like papaya (but still dry). An interesting wine to try and enjoy for the aromas, but unlikely to be a wine I come back to regularly.
