13' The color is a pale yellow. 13.0% ALC. Big pronounced floral nose. Lime, lemon peel, orange blossom, Crisp & zesty, clean long finish. This wine screams food. Great buy!

So Bittah! Tastes like Orange oil and orange rind. Tight acidity though.

Pale yellow gold, bright acidity with lemon. Very subtle oregano, basil and heirloom tomato. Excellent when paired with Burrata, Asparagus and Scallops.

Intensely floral and perfumed, the 2013 Malvasia Bianca is loaded with varietal character and nuance. Mint, jasmine and pear add complexity on the expressive, saline finish. (AG)

Not the last word in depth or layers, but great honeysuckle nose, and a great acidic end with some citrus zest.
