Agree with others. Also My first experience with the varietal. Fascinatingly translucent green, almost clear. Grassy lemon notes with sparkling acidity. Had as our 2nd wine in a night of tastings.

Very pale green, almost clear. Mineral, citrus and grassy tones with a freshness coming from its bright acidity. Great summer wine, either on its own or as a complement to fish tacos.

My first experience with this varietal. Very pale in color but complex on the palate. Subtle but full of flavor. Lots of energy. Paired nicely with Lebanese. I’d drink this again, especially at under $15/bottle.

Very pale, amongst the palest I have ever tasted. Med aromas of wildflowers, lime, mineral, fresh herb, and soapstone. Bone dry, chilling acidity, tart grapefruit, jasmine, lemon pith, and a hint of grassy bitterness on the lip smacking finish. Something of a cross between a dry austrian riesling and a dry furmint.

Really enjoy the taste and the subtle spice unlike the reisling that we are so familiar with - not too acidic, with a touch of zest - great alternative for any white with almost any food....and a great price....i would prefer a bit more sweetness - but that a matter of personal taste - this drinks very well for most people...

A wonderful wine and a great release - very well balanced in all aspects of taste, alcohol level, minerality, acidity, depth and a touch of spice and sweet....sip and drink all summer long with any fare - well into the fall season and beyond....

Dr. K tasting: Pale lemon color. Nose of orange peel, lemons, quince, with notes of lemon verbena, honeysuckle, nettle, bay leaf, sea salt. Plump texture on the palate with racy acidity, the balance is great. Lemons, yellow and green apples, so bright yet the depth of fruit is great. Lots of mineral depth, stones, sea salt, mountain streams. Brisk and sprightly, yet deep and complex. Fascinating stuff.

Pours a nearly clear light straw color. The scents I picked up on were more savory than I expected. Some honeysuckle with some hay and a lees quality.
On the palate, this is wonderfully sprightly and pure. Tingly medium-high acidity with a medium, slightly oily mouth feel. Flavors of peach, grapefruit, and lime zest with a definite herbal note that becomes more apparent with some time warming in the glass. Good length.
This stuff is way too easy to drink and provides great value around the $15 USD mark. I would drink sooner rather than later to capture the crisp, fresh nature of this wine.

Very pale green-gold. Pretty nose of peaches, lime, and honeysuckle. Well-balanced on the palate with refreshing acidity; easy to enjoy. Bottle was emptied quickly. Feels like a cross between a riesling and a muscat?

Fascinating. Mouthwatering acids awash in wave after wave of different fruits.

Unusual Grapes or Unusual Places (Grapes & Grains, Temecula, CA): Similar flavors as before but, not sure why I didn't notice, there is a definite sweetness to this wine. Tech notes show .8% residual sugar.

Lemon, apricot minerals, basil. Bracing acidity. Hint of sweetness. Very complex Eastern European grape.

Lemon and honeysuckle, just a bit of residual sugar. Some really pleasant herbalness to it as well, almost like chamomile. Quite nice
