  Neutral lime green color. Very heady nose of tropical fruits like banana, papaya, pineapple and peach dam. The wine feels full-bodied and moderately oily on the palate with medim-to-moderate acidity. The taste feels very ripe, even slightly sweet, with rich and intense tropical flavors of papaya, pineapple juice, some apricots and a hint of banana. Despite its apparent sweetness, I believe the wine is pretty dry - it just comes across sweet due to its modest acidity and noticeable ripeness. The finish is pretty long with a lot of intense flavors of exotic fruits and peach jam with light bitterness offsetting the sweet fruit pretty nicely.
  
  A tasty, exuberantly fruity and surprisingly balanced little white wine that is very unlike anything I've had before. Perhaps the wine could've used a bit more acidity, but it still drinks pretty nicely due to its balancing, light bitter touch. Tasty and smashable, I can imagine this is really wonderful stuff when served well-chilled under the hot Turkish sun.

  Lemony green. Hefty golden apple and dominant banana notes in this young wine, all pure and fresh. Light and easy drinking with a bit of sweetness accompanying its freshness. Succulent and cheerful. No oak here.
