- Tasting.com Review: Pale color. Fruity, floral minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice poached pear, and papaya with a lean, racy, bone-dry medium body and smooth, complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no tannins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus and minerality thru to the long crisp finish, this soave can seamlessly go from cocktail hour thru to vibrantly flavored dishes. Score 91
- My review: This wine has a very strong fruit bouquet of red apples, juicy pears, and apricots. There is also a slight citrus smell to brighten the wine and make it have a not to sweet smell from oranges and lemons. On the palate the wine is deceived by the very fruity smell as it has a very strong sour taste. There are citrus notes of oranges and limes throughout the taste. There is also an odd flavor of rose water that clashes with the sour and citrus flavor instead of accenting it and making the drink fresher. This wine was not worthy of the Tasting.com score as is does not seem to know which direction it wants to go.
- Food Pairing: I did not have any food with this wine.
