Winery Review: Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish.

My Thoughts: Light yellow color Nose was interesting, Smelled of cornflakes and orange juice. I know this because once as a child i mixed OJ into my bowl of Frosted Flakes. The flavor was very much orange peel. There was a good amount of acid followed by an almost sweet vanilla or honey finish. I enjoyed this wine, interestign nose with a clean acidic flavor.
