Wine Enthusiast Review:
A rainy minerality on the nose of this sweet wine manages to cut through the sugared oranges, honeysuckle and ripe, tropical white fleshed fruit, from peach to cherimoya. The palate is full of honeyed apples, white peach and pineapple, but the decent acidity and chalky element stops it short of treacly.

My Review:
This wine smelled exactly like a fresh cut meadow and was terrific. It smelled like the middle of a spring day that hadn't gotten too war. There were not really any fruits coming out because the main focus was on a grassy smell that was not too earthy. It tasted like carbonated with the fizziness with hints of strawberry. I would like to eat pretzels with this wine to even out the super sweetness. It had a clean finish here the aftertaste didn't linger too long. This was tasted without food.
