Top Notes For
Randy Fuller

The wine has a nice bit of golden color, and a truly amazing nose. Aromas of minerals and citrus come with a fanfare from the glass. The scent of fresh limes is delightful. Green apple and peach notes have a bit of a struggle getting through that mineral-driven wall. The palate displays the tart apple and lime flavors best, with a freshness which rivals that of the nose.

Dry! Tropical fruits, moderate+ acid, slight floral palate blended with the grapefruit. Reminds of a kiwi sauv blanc without the gripping acid.

Went in wanting the happy medium of fruity beer and white wine: this was the winner. Perfect choice for something dry yet fun and crisp.
