Nose has hints of earthy dried fruit, petrol aka stinky sock, and citrus with a touch of greenness. Quite creamy in the mouth with some glycerin coat, a good acid bite up front, warmish bittersweet fruit (pears, earthy dried fruit, maybe figs) and floral (honeysuckle) followed by a warm fading finish with bittersweet notes of dried fruit. Warmth was interesting given it is only 13% abv. Off dry. Body light to medium, acid medium.

Very pale color. Floral, sweet, pretty nose. Surprisingly sweet on the palate. It's kind of a two part wine. It starts off as almost off-dry but finishes with some strong acid, almost too astringent. Kind of an interesting wine. Very good friendly and could do very well if paired correctly. Spicy fish. Sushi. Etc.

Big lush mouthfeel with good minerality and a nice match for oysters

nice fruit and well balanced with a good finish. We had it with sushi and it was a great pairing.

Fine but not spectacular. For the price you can do better.
