Tasting notes:
Nose: Sweet green apple, grapefruit and slightly floral notes.
Palate: The green apple nose follow throughs on the palette. As it warms up, pear and more concentrated citrus flavor is more evident.
Body: Light but good mouthfeel.
Finish: Crisp and clean. Short to medium finish. A slightly bitter aftertaste though not off-putting.
Comment: Excellent as both sipping or food wine. Had it with roasted cod with dill sauce; great match. Refigrated over night, the wine still holds well and developed a much rounder body.

Thanks for the encouragement. I hope I can share more interesting wine information in the future.
