  Wow, this looks like apple juice in the glass. The nose has a slight petrol note and red apple. Medium light acidity and more red apple. Chalky. Medium weight. Comes across as a euro wine.

  Tasted double blind; incorrectly identified as an aged Alsatian Pinot Gris.
  
  Medium lemon-green color. Med+ intense aromas of pineapple, tropical fruit, lychee-like aroma, elderflower, yeasty aromas from lees aging. Dry, med+ acidity, med alcohol (tasted higher), med body, med+ intensity a finish. Flavors of melon, tropical fruit, red apple, citrus, salt. Very good quality that is ready to drink now.
  
  Blind tasting advice - don't get too hung up on the tropical fruit flavors, look for higher acidity, floral aromas, and saltiness on the finish to differentiate from Pinot Gris and Gruner Vetliner.

  Fresh squeezed lemon and lime on the nose and palate, with a touch of ruby grapefruit and Crenshaw melon joining the party late. Good acidity, yet there's an appealing softness on the finish. Nice summertime value.

  This pale yellow/green wine offers a nice crisp core of grapefruit, honeydew, jasmine and paprika. Light-bodied, fresh and without noticeable alcohol (12.5%), it has good mid-palate presence and excellent persistence on the back end. Those who enjoy the grape will find this one to be in the upper echelon. Drink now-2020.

  Scents of peach and citrus. Tastes of melon, peach, and some orange rind. A little saltiness on the finish.
