Love this stuff despite its limitations. Nose is remarkably like a Riesling-- green apple and sweet, sugary aromas fill the glass. The fruit is spicy and full-- a dominant note of sour, green apple--delivering on the nose-- but more is to come: raisins, pineapple, finishes with a light creamy note though the fruit has considerable momentum and almost covers this. A "real drinker" as my British friend would say. Superb as a cooking wine to be used carefully in sauces. Try making a chicken dish with it then serving it with the meal. Have had many happy guests when I have done so. Must be served very cold or its sour nature is too dominant. (103 views)

Great bargain! As good as some $15 Sauvignon Blancs although not as grassy. Nice citrus.

Nice and citrusy. Great with salads and quaffing on the deck.

Nice but a little too much grapefruit -- wish it was drier
