Winery review: "Pale straw-yellow color with brilliant reflections. Delicately fruity bouquet, with outstanding finesse and marked hints of almond blossom and peaches. Elegant, soft, and well-structured fruit on the palate, with remarkable freshness and a clean, persistent aftertaste"
My review: Light, pale yellow coloring which typically is associated with a light bodied white wine. On the nose this wine exhibits a fresh hint of peaches and pears. On the palate I'm immediately shocked by how overwhelmingly sweet this wine tastes. I also noticed that there is an intense afterbite with a lot of heat. I'd say that this wine probably has a high percentage of alcohol, which only caters to an intensely sweet white wine. I've certainly had better Pinot Grigios with a better balance of acidity and sugar.
