Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
    Ripe lychee, tropical fruits and musk on the nose as you near the glass. Lovely grape and stone fruits and on the palate is highlighted with the subtle sweetness and spritz that makes this such a fun drink. Low in alcohol and nicely balanced acidity ensure you will want more than one glass of this easy drinking wine.



My Review:  
    This wine presents a nice light pale gold color. The nose is floral with strong notes of tropical fruit, peach blossoms, lychee, and honey. Upon tasting, the wine as a nice sharp start which blends into a sweet, fruity, peachy flavor and finally finishes fruity with honey and floral notes. Despite how sweet this all sounds, there is a little dryness in this wine which helps build a relatively complex character (for my taste experiences at least). The wine is well blended and transitions well. Honestly, this wine is quite pleasant. 83/100
