Shop Review: The wine has a spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body. Well-balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish.

My Review: This virtually clear wine has a smell that reminds me of fruit loops with a hint of sour apple. The taste was very odd. It had an oily texture that lingered on my palate until well after I had finished the wine.
