Tasting:

She said: Slight citrus aroma is followed by pleasantly strong mineral taste. Medium to light body is accompanied by enough acidity to give the wine crispness. The finish is long and ends on a slightly bitter note. Smooth and well balanced this wine is very pleasant sipping and delicious with the chicken. Right now I consider it the best buy on the ship.
