Weekend wines in 2 shifts (Issaquah, WA): The nose had honey and lychee aromas with a lime accent. The palate was full of tropical fruits, peach, pear and honey. Spritzy with some nice sweetness, and a medium length finish. At only 5.5% alcohol, this is the lowest alcohol wine that I have ever tasted. This was a fun starter wine - but not a style that I would want to have too often. It did go really well with lots of fresh fruit.

Very light on its feet when it needs to be, but generous with its complex fruit when it's not. A touch of honey, tropical fruits and white flowers, this is very fresh and satisfying. After the clusters are pressed, the must is left to ferment until 4.5% abv is achieved. It is then refrigerated at -2C until it becomes sparkling. Approx $19

Love this wine. Had for Brunch with a tomato sauce and poached egg, on toast. Floral on nose. Tropical fruit on palate.
