Winery Review: Aromas of orange and citrus. Lime Zest and tropical fruits follow on the palate. Smooth finish with a hint of peaches on the end. 

My Review: This wine was the first white wine I full enjoyed! I have found that I am not the best at tasting the flavors and aromas that are quoted on the bottle: however, this wine matched perfectly with its description. There was a strong citrus start to the wine and had very strong notes of peach. It was not sugary but to my palate it tasted well balanced of fruit flavors with enough tart/acidity that was very pleasurable. I will be very excited to try a similar wine like this in the future.
