Fresh, clean and tangy: It is a blend of these grape varieities. Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, Ugni blanc, and Vermentino. The Vermentino adds a nice note of grapefruit citrus. Very good value.

A blend of Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Ugni Blanc and Roussanne.
Pale lemon yellow color. Somewhat closed and underwhelming nose with aromas of vague yellow fruits, some nondescript white fruits, a little bit of sweet pear and a bit chemical note of VA. The wine is medium-bodied, round and somewhat lacking form on palate with flavors of mirabelle plums, some slivered almonds, a little bit of exotic fruit candies and a hint of sweet bread dough. The wine is moderately high in acidity, which keeps the wine well in balance yet doesn't really give much freshness. The finish is somewhat thin and chemical with a bit short flavors of stone fruits, some steely character, a little bit of peach marmalade and an industrial hint of solvent-like VA.
Meh. Dull, simple and underwhelming. Not really that pleasant. At 9,98€ this is a pass.

Friday Walk Around Tasting at Sam's Fine Wine & Spirits, Lexington, SC 10/10/2014 (Sam's Fine Wines & Spirits, Lexington, SC): A close to perfect wine for the first drink of the day. Not too heavy, not too intense, just a nice mouth full of citrus and orchard fruit with an appropriate amount of acid. The color is darker yellow than most. The nose has peach, citrus, some flower, possibly daisy, and even a hint of banana. There is some underlying earthy structure, but this wine is really designed to drink chilled immediately after purchase for it's soft, approachable, thirst quenching ability.

Nice color. The nose shows aromas of pear, banana, tropical fruit and a hint of flowers. This is medium bodied on the palate with ok concentration but surprising finesse. The medium length finish has just enough acidity to balance things out. Easy to drink.

PnP. Zippy mid-week white. Touch of lanolin and lemon zest on the nose. Melon rind lemon and white grapefruit on the palate. Super clean finish. Like it better at under $10. Needs to be well chilled.
