Medium lemon with pronounced stone fruit, citrus aromas with floral blossoms and slight petrol notes. On the palate flavors of pineapple, apricot and lime citrus with vivid acidity, minerality, spice and floral notes. Medium finish ending dry with fruit and smoky notes.

Lemony, sweet-ish but not overly so, not tart. It has an interesting character/depth that I find really enticing. I loved this for Thanksgiving. Suggested by Ian at Pamplemousse.

Lovely apricot nose to start, then rose petals and more apricot. There's a nice warmness to this wine.

Tropical fruit, canned pear, honey, and rose water. Too sweet and unstructured for me.

Lovely floral and gooseberry notes. On the palate the same with hints of honey aromas and a nice balance of acidity.

We've been drinking a Napa Valley gewurtztriminer all summer, so compared with that this wine is more balanced. Less acid and not as tart. Sweet, but not cloying.
