kennuncorked Tasting Notes

Reported not produced using "Sustainable", "Organic" or "Biodynamic" practices.

Appearance:
With the glass tilted, the wine is clear and transparent. The core is a pale wheat (almost water-white) that seems consistent to a water-white rim.

Nose/Aromas:
Clean with pronounced intensity of flowers with hints of unripe pineapple, ripe pear and peach.

Palate:
Dry, light bodied with medium minus acidity.  The fruit characteristics seem to be of light intensity with the citrus (unripe pineapple) and lemon zest.  Interesting that (retro-nasal flavors are the peach and the pear). There seems to be no perception of alcohol burn (the alcohol level = 13.0 %) indicating that the alcohol is well integrated into the wine.

Clean with a short finish.
