Winery Review

Fresh kiwifruit, green apple and almond notes bounce along, showing a flash of plantain on the friendly finish. Drink now. 

My Review

After much swirling and thinking, the above wine gave off notes of grapefruit or other similar citrus fruits. After the initial citrus shock, the sweet yet sour smell of green apple shines through to give this wine a strong finish. It was incredibly sour to the tongue and strongly acidic. It would not be a first round pick for any personal event of mine. 

I did not eat food with this wine.
