Zippy and spicy. Packed with a riotous bouquet of fresh green herbs. Lingering flavors of dried white peach.

Apple, unripened melon, mushroom, soy sauce, asparagus, lemon, minerality. Some nuttiness.

Salty on the palate. Dry, citrus, long balanced finish.

Plenty of floral, citrus and mineral notes. Bright acidity. This is a good friendly wine. Quite tasty.

Refreshing and very drinkable. Laced with just enough sugar. Could go great with poultry, fish or just a warm night.

Classic radish and peppered greens but a weird texture - oily and waxy at the same time - delicious though
