Straw green color. Aromas of cassis leaf and musk melon, gooseberry, pickled sweet peppers, and kiwi with a satiny, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length gooseberry, green apple, and lemon, passion fruit, sautéed green bell pepper, and grapefruit finish. Tropical and herbaceous with waves of flavor and aroma, this is an excellent example of grape and regional typicity.
