Shop/wine critic/winery review:
   100 % Muscat. Soft floral hints add depth to the otherwise straightforward ripe peach and nectarine aromas. There’s a good balance in the mouth, with a nice acidic lift and slightly lime edge to cut the sweetness on the finish and close with the faintest hint of honeydew melons.



My Review: 
    This wine presents a strong yellow-gold color. On the nose, there's a delightful mix of peach, honey, green grape (surprising! I know), floral, and a bit of citrus. Upon tasting, this wine is sweet, fruity, and slightly sour/acidic (especially after the initial taste). There are hints of citrus here as well. This wine is well balanced. It provides a nice mouth feel, it is clean and refreshing, but it is still present and noticeable. Overall, this wine is quite nice. 80-81/100
