About This Wine

This popular white wine is a semi-sweet Riesling-Traminette blend, using Vidal Blanc for added depth. Aromas of melons, citrus fruits, apricots, and delicate flowers highlight the soft finish of this soothing wine. 

Tasting Attibutes

Aroma: Melon, citrus, apricots, flowers. Palate: Sweet, firm acidity. Finish: Soft. Semi-sweet blend of Riesling, Traminette, Vidal Blanc. Serve chilled
My notes: Smell was very floral and exactly what I would expect from a Riesling. Slight apricot and a sweet nose. Almost smelled like a Moscato. The taste was sweet, definitley. It was not a fruity sweet though, floral sweet with slight apricot, orange and honey suckle. Mid palate grapefruit. It just did not have any depth or complexity. Definitely a good table wine with food though.
