Acclaim
[E]xuberant, crisp, refreshing, fruity offering revealing hints of tangerines and pears. This pure, dry wine is ideal for drinking over the next 12-18 months.
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2000
Best Buys - This fresh and lively medium-bodied white boasts a pineappley nose, a good backbone of minerals, and fresh acidity that lasts through the finish - all at a budget-conscious price.
