Overall, this wine is not really a sipping wine. It’s best suited to a dinner requiring it’s acidity to bring something to the party. Otherwise you might want to look elsewhere.

It’s a clear, bright if somewhat light straw-yellow color. There’s a slight fruit aroma to the wine, with light intensity but really almost no bouquet to speak of. There is some noticeable acidity here and some sweetness but little in the way of taste for your palette. The balance is fine with a short finish.
