A nose of white flowers and lime pith leads to a sweet palate of lemon meringue and soft creamy acidity. The finish lingers with flavors of tangerine and white peach.
Food Pairing: Classic pairings will lead you to something slightly spicy with this wine, as the delicate sweetness will highlight and compliment a chili heat or curry seasoning. But don't be afraid to venture towards a classic german sausage and sauerkraut dish, as the acid can cut through the richness of the sausage and perfectly compliment the sauerkraut's zip.
