Love that Gewürz spice on the nose. Honey, Brioche, ripe yellow fruit. Delicious!

Sweet but with a nice balance of acid. Honey and pear on the nose. Hits mostly back palate. Held up nicely to food but good to enjoy on it's own on a night warm evening.

2013 Borealis, Montinore Estate. Slight tangerines. Nice and soft on the palate with a hint of pineapple.

Nice blend, a touch of residual sugar but also some pretty citrus and orchard fruit notes. Good acidity.

Funky and fun wine. Aromatic, a bit sweet, and refreshing. Good with Asian food.

Balanced and bright. Hint of honeydew. Think I need to grab a couple more bottles.

One of favorite sipping wines. Sweet, but not too. Great with cheese and crackers.
