Winery Review: This Grenache Blanc is exquisitely sculpted with sharp acids and pinpointed minerals, and offers orange, melon, and vanilla-honey flavors. A delight to drink, at a great price.

My Review: This wine was a beautiful pale, almost colorless white wine. On the nose, this wine has a very obvious green apple profile with hints of lime and lemon peel. On the palate, this wine had an incredible acidic quality to it which was tempered with a honey texture and taste on the mid-palate. The apple taste was still obvious in the finish, but it didn’t linger. This wine was crisp, clean and pleasantly dry.

With food?: I did not have any food with this wine, however, I would love this with fish and chips or other seafood dishes.
