Winery Review: Very clean, with lemon, mineral and honey aromas that follow through to a medium body. Shows vanilla, apple and melon flavors, with a medium finish. Lightly sweet.

My Review: This wine violated one of my palates cardinal sins; it was way too sweet. I didn't really taste any significant trace of alcohol in it and that really turned me off. That being said, it was very sweet and fruity, with a nice honey aspect that I've never really experienced before in wine. I would probably avoid this typically, as I like my wine to be pretty strong and alcohol-ey, but if I happened to be drinking with a friend who liked sweeter whites, this would be one of my first choices.

I did not try this with food.
