He said: Chilled before drinking. Clear, light lemon yellow color. Very light fresh grass and apple aromas. A little spritzy with a smooth Granny Smith apple taste. Long crisp finish. This was a double WOW at only $8.95…it was VERY REFRESHING, filed with crisp spring flavors and the fine effervescence gave it real sparkle and made it special. A quality wine at a bargain price that was a great pairing with the dinner and wonderful drinking alone. It’s so versatile and food friendly that it would make a GREAT wine to buy by the case!!! It’s a FANTASTIC value!!!
She said: Green yellow, with effervescence when poured. Very mild fruity aroma and equally mild flavor. The mouth feel was very light and smooth with a refreshing note to it. The finish was not strong but ITS REFRESHING QUALITY lasted a long time. The wine was delicious with the chicken and tabouli and I would buy it again. It is a bargain wine at under $9 and I look forward to pairing it with other dinners that need a light refreshing wine.
