Shop Review/Wine Critic Review: "A fresh scent of green pears greets the nose. What follows comes in a light, crisp citrus vein, supported by a rounded mouthfeel. A refreshing wine for immediate drinking - Anne Krebiehl, MW"
My Review: This wine had a really strong smell and almost burnt my nose when I sniffed it. This made me nervous that it would be really strong but I was pleasantly surprised! It was a little sour, like an unripened orange, but the taste wasn't strong at all! The lighter flavor mixed with the fruity undertone made it refreshing and crisp. However, I did feel like I was drinking a bit of a water'd down wine compared to some other dry whites.
I did not pair this wine with any food but it would be a nice addition with a meal or some appetizers of cheese!
