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.
