Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of lemon syrup, pineapple, white flowers in the distance, and yellow apple with a round, lively, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a stimulating, medium-length finish that presents notes of baked yellow apple, lemon in honey syrup, plastic flowers, and white peach. A nice off dry white wine with good acid to balance the fruit and florals.
