Go-to workhorse white wine. Good in summer, good in winter, great sharp minerality and green flavor

Extremely pale color, nearly clear.
Minerality and chalk on the nose.
Sweet melon, lime, and floral notes. Refreshing!
Medium bodied with low acid and a medium finish.

Light citrus, mineral bite. Crispy, light, not overbearing but not very bold. Have chilled on a warm day!
