While mineral driven on first whiff, aeration reveals increasingly fragrant aromas of white blossom, pineapple and grapefruit in this wine. It's dry and intensely zesty on the palate, marked by a tropical lychee note and a refreshing herbal undertone. A light-bodied, invigorating sip to enjoy now–2023. Anna Lee C. Iijima
