Winery Review: With aromas of intense tropical fruit and fresh-cut grass notes. Palate bursts with passionfruit, citrus, and ripe stone fruit flavors. Delicious with seafood, goat cheese salad, or on its own.

Wine Folly: pg. 165 talks about the strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines, which are also found in bell pepper. High amounts of acidity within the wine that goes well with salty cheeses and light meats. With primary flavors of gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, and white peach. 

My Review: Extreme fruity aroma of tropical and citruses. With a pale yellow color to match the fruitiness of the aroma. The tastes come from a light passionfruit to a hint of honeydew and cantaloupe. It's a light taste with a very smooth aftertaste. Also, has a grassy taste from the soil the grapes were grown on.
