Shop/wine critic/winery review:
Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste.
Your Review:
This was a fresh green wine with a hint of a grassy smell? Something similar to dandelions.  It has a nice crisp taste, with maybe a hint of pear.  Nothing too fruity, which I liked.  I did not taste this with food.
