Tasting:
-
Chilled before drinking. Clear, light oat straw color with just a hint of cloudiness. Invigorating aromas of ripe tropical fruit, lemon, Granny Smith apple and lilac that was just jumping out of the glass. Edgy and dusty mineral mouthfeel, light body and a 200-grit texture. Tangerine, mango, lemon, lime and limestone spring water tastes. Light yet still crisp acidity and a long honeydew melon, lemon and mineral finish. Although it did not have strong acidity there was a lively and spring time freshness that combined with the robust citrus flavors made it a PERFECT pairing with the lemon chicken. Very nice white blend that we would buy again in a flash.
