Winery Review: 

-
90 Points – Beverage Testing Institute
-"Golden straw color. Bright, attractive, tropical aromas of creme brulee and fruit tart with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, intriguing, snappy lime and apple finish with crunchy, fruit tannins and light oak. A super smooth and pure white sipper."

My Review:

-86 pts
-This wine was probably my least favorite out of this week's flight. On the nose, I got deep apple aromas with hints of earthiness and almost rubber. To the taste, this wine had hints of pear but was seemingly very watered down and sour. I tried this wine on its own without food.
