Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of grapefruit zest, sweet pickles peppers, canned peaches, and dried lemon and white flowers with a satiny, crisp, dry light-to-medium body and a delightful, medium-length finish that shows nuances of lemon, tart yellow apple, lemongrass, and sweet peppers. Pleasing fruit and acid with light and savory notes; a good choice aperitif.
