Shop Critic: Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish.
My Review: This wine did not have the most appealing color; pale, yellow-brown, almost straw-like. However this wine was very intriguing. The first smell on the nose I detected was buttery biscuits! Then after smelling the wine a second and third time I picked up some dreamsicle and peaches. While tasting this wine there was a sweet punch in the front of my palate followed by a breakthrough of acidity. It was quite smooth with some hints of vanilla throughout. Overall not a bad wine!
I drank this wine on it's own with no food pairings.
