Shop Review: "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 long finish."
My Review: The first thing that hit me about this wine was how strong it was and the warm feeling I had after drinking it. It felt almost like it had liquor in it. The best thing about it was the pear/tangyness in it. I usually haven't been able to taste the fruity aspect of most white wines but I really enjoyed the flavor in this one. Another intriguing thing about this wine was how it smelled sweet but tasted sour. I think I would prefer this white wine over most other reds.
I did not pair this wine with any food but might try next time to offset a little bit of how strong it was.
