kennuncorked Tasting Notes

Appearance:
With the glass tilted, the wine is clear, bright and transparent. The core is a pale wheat color that is fairly consistent fading to a narrow water-white rim.

Nose/Aromas:
Clean with a medium intensity of stone fruit aromas (such as a slightly ripe peach) along with a hint of figs and citrus (maybe lemon zest).

Palate:
Dry, (maybe even a little off-dry) medium bodied with mouth-watering acidity.  The fruit characteristics seem to be medium intensity similar to the nose.  There is a slight perception of alcohol burn on the sides of the tongue (but not unpleasant and might even enhance some foods (the alcohol level = 13.%).

Finish/Length:
Clean with a medium minus finish..

Cost:
Approximate retail price: US$13.00.

Producers Notes:
Light straw, with lemon-lime tones. The nose is dominated by vibrant currant-leaf and gooseberry and green bell pepper aromas, some freshly cut herb nuances, and a hint of ripe citrus. The palate is full flavored, with lively acidity and clean fresh finish.
