Like its name, it’s a bit of a conundrum. It’s got a nice clear solid straw color if a bit on the shallow side and there appears to be no particularly noticeable legs to this wine. It does have some nice fruit notes (pear and apple seems to be predominate). And there’s some nice sweetness and low acidity. The balance seems good with a medium finish and there seems to be no off-notes. A good sipping wine as well as a good with a meal. Don’t serve it too cold.

Supple but not svelte. Better served with a soft cheese, some warm bread and youthful tasty tart.
