Pale gold with nice nose of citrus and spices. Sweeter than I remembered but has held up well. Grapefruit and honeydew melon on the palate. Still has some acidity but slightly off. Not a bad wine and went well with peppered shrimp scampi.

Was a bit disappointed in this one. Pale, straw gold with an enticing nose of grapefruit, lychee and spice. On the palate it was surprisingly sweet and slightly out of balance - it certainly lacked the necessary acidity to recover from the upfront sugar. Lots of grapefruit with a bit of melon and spice rounding things out before a nice, long finish. Won't be serving this one with dinner again, but it would be fine as an aperitif or for a sunny afternoon on the deck.
