Shop Critic: Very clean, with lemon, mineral and honey aromas that follow through to a medium body. Shows vanilla, apple and melon flavors, with a medium finish. Lightly sweet.
My Review: This was probably one of the weirdest wines I have ever smelled. It was very crisp with some lemon and honey but was completely overpowered by this weird alcohol smell almost like petrol or antiseptic mouthwash (not mint). After tasting this wine, I was even more confused. It tasted a little bit like vanilla extract gone really bad. It was super sweet but not in a good way. It also kind of reminded me a little bit of those freeze-y pops you can get in the summer time in the plastic tubes that you freeze but the yellow artificial pineapple flavor. Very strange, very unique, and very not for me.
I drank this wine with no food pairings.
