Peach aroma, crisp and good acid content. Nice expression of a very likable grape.

I find this wine too easy to drink! It has some lovely hints of stone fruit like peaches and is so refreshing. It is good by itself or with chicken and fish dishes.

Quite sweet and a little tart towards the end of a sip (the finish? Sounds naughty). But it's quite good!
