Rich yellow and buttery color. Overwhelming lychee, honey and vanilla on the nose. Smells like a tropical fruit salad, with a touch of starfruit, Skittles and Fruity Pebbles. Not nearly as sweet in the mouth as it smells. There's a hint of sweetness upfront, but it quickly turns to a dry, slightly acidic, mineral finish. In the mouth, we're getting more crispness and plums, apples and pears.
It's still a little too sweet for our tastes, but still an enjoyable wine. Still, great QPR as with all of the Lenz wines. Very well made.

Medium gold. Aromatic; lychee, jasmine, clover honey. Full body, low acid, slightly unctuous. Ginger and lychee touched by white pepper on a medium finish. Lighter concentration and depth than other examples of the varietal, good dark soy sauce, ginger, and black pepper stir fry companion, weak on its own.
