Shop review: “Pale,
golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry, and
honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus
and talc accented finish. A delightful sipper that is sure to please.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)
My review: It was mentioned during the wine tasting that the
grapes were picked right before they ripened.
By the acidic/sour taste, I could tell.
I myself couldn’t taste the fruits mentioned in the review, but I could definitely
taste the un-ripened grapes. It was also slightly effervescent. It was definitely a wine to sip- I couldn’t
take big gulps of this wine.
I drank this without food.
