Winery Review
89 points -Beverage Testing Institute
Silvery straw color.
Lively aromas and flavors of pineapple, yellow apple, melon, and Meyer lemon
with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, complex,
medium-long finish with notes of lemongrass, pear, and lemon with no tannins
and no oak. Bright and crisp with layers of juicy pineapple, pear, lemongrass
and ripe melon make this perfect for repeated sipping or enhancing fresh farm
to table cookery
My Review
The initial smell of the Le Jade was surprisingly refreshing. I was greeted with an onslaught of fruity aromas. What came in strongest was the scent of apples, followed shortly by lemon and a few other fruits that I had difficulty placing. The taste however was a bit of a let down for me, as it was shockingly bitter after such a sweet initial smell. The aftertaste was the most bitter by far however which left a bad sensation in the mouth.
I did not eat food with this wine.
