Winery review:  This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.(04/112013- Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)

My review:This white wine had a nose of apples and pineapples. I did not taste as sweet as I thought it would; instead it was more tangy and tart. It was also pretty light. I did not have any food with this wine tasting.
