I am not generally a fan of French SB, preferring the styles of California, New Zealand, and Australia for this varietal. Yet, surprisingly, this wine won my heart. It is crisp, slightly citric yet fruity, with flavors of granny smith apples, lemons, and kiwi fruit. It stood up to both Indian and Ethiopian foods, cutting through the clarified butters used in these cuisines. This wine was so easy-drinking that the entire bottle vanished quite early into each meal.

It took me a minute but I realized that the smell incredibly reminds me of elderflower!
