Taste
A silky texture to the wine, with peach and a slight honey note. I found the flavours subtle, but together they are beautiful.
The lemon comes through last, with a touch of saline that adds a hint of bitterness. Don’t let this put you off, though; it adds liveliness to the wine.
There is a medium finish, with a delightful aftertaste.

Quick Overview
A fresh, unfussy white that keeps things simple, and that’s exactly why it works. Fresh, fruity, and just the right balance of crisp and soft, it’s the kind of wine you can open any day of the week without overthinking it.
Expect flavours of pear, peach, and a little citrus, with a light to medium body that keeps it super drinkable.
It’s dry but friendly, refreshing without being sharp, and basically the definition of “crowd-pleaser.” Perfect for when you just want something simple, good, and reliably tasty.
