Ok so this wine is for helping you digest and is designed to go well with Greek food. If you are drinking it out of context you will not understand it. It's wonderful for its intended use but you have to approach it with an open mind. It is not your traditional wine at all.

1 person found it helpfulApr 21st, 2014Poor kid got stabbed with a key. Probably for drinking wine out of a beer glass. Although this is low ABV (11%) and it’s in a beer type bottle with a metal cap, so I can understand the confusion. Pale golden hue in the glass. Smells unlike most wines I’ve had. Lemons and Pine-sol spray. An herbal dill or salvia thing in there too. It’s piney yeah. But light and easy to drink too. Kinda like a Corona or Pacifico with a lemon squeezed in. For me the Christmas tree in there is a nice compliment. As a substitute for Vinho Verde to mix it up once and awhile this is a lovely warm summer day sipper.

Dec 14th, 2017Bright gold. Intense aroma and flavor of rosemary, white flowers, and a hint of fruits. Not a delicate wine but interesting to taste. Initially, I didn’t like the flavor, but when it got a little warmer and I paired it with a earthy goulash, the flavors of the wine improved making the whole experience a very enjoyable meal.
