Tropical on the nose, light and refreshing after a day in the gorgeous sun.

Simple. Easy drinking. Floral with a lemon oil quality. Very slightly waxy.

Nicely/balanced rosé that tastes like a light Sauvignon Blanc. Subtle floral notes with a zesty finish. Great wine for hors d’oeuvres, but probably pairs well with seafood dishes as well.

Citrus bouquet. Nice tartness on the backend. Fresh. Delicious by itself but would also be wonderful as a spritzer.

A creamy and citrusy nose, like a lemon cake. The palate is at first withheld, and then opens to lemony citrus flavors and a creamy finish, adding some body with a lingering flavor that ends with a slight mineral quality. It’s good, slightly sweet, probably good chilled, but we were stuck in a hotel room in Denver while Austin thawed, so it wasn’t bad.
