Simple. Quaffable. Better when washing down some food. A bit basic on its own. Well made for what it is. Should be half the price but America fuck yeah

Fruity and a bit floral, with a freshness that keeps me sipping. Enough tannin to grab hold of grilled food, nicely but overall a very bright, acid driven wine. A good chill makes it really pop. #glou ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‰๐ŸŒž
