“A full-bodied, round and rich wine with fun aromas of golden raspberries, cranberries and some chalk. The palate is juicy and refreshing, with pleasant yeastiness and a clean finish.” 

“A playful nose of raspberry, cherry and tangerine with some chalk dust and rose petal as well. Light- to medium-bodied and easygoing, with bright acidity, tart citrus and red-fruit flavors.”

“Wet stones and stone fruit aromas, with juicy acidity and loads of minerality. Gentle creaminess on the mid-palate that shows yummy peach flavors. The finish is textural and tangy, with lime and lemon peel. Medium-bodied.” 

“A light body and delicate flavors give a charming, pretty expression to this restrained and well-balanced wine. It’s elegant, refreshing and rather low in alcohol, so you can have a second glass.”
