The Vintage Cellar Review: Brilliant
straw color with emerald reflections.
Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and
bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright
fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with
scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.
My Review: This wine has a clear light color but there isn’t much
of a tint to it, its super light. It
smells of peaches, nectarines, apricots, but mostly like apple juice. It smells like it should be sweet but the
taste is really light and watery like an apple juice that got all the sugar
sucked out of it. It seems to almost
have a slight fizz to it. It is very
smooth, and a little tart. Like a water
with flavoring and absolutely no burn.
