My Tasting Notes
Color: Straw hues with some green hints. mostly transparent.
Nose: a bit tight, but mostly floral of white flowers with hints of greenery along with white peaches and honey suckle
Palate:
- Body: 4
- Acidity: 2. lacks acidity
- Alcohol: 3.5
- sugar: 3
The flavors come together really well on the palate despite the tighter nose. I also found this wine to express itself best at a chilled or slightly chilled temperature rather than very chilled. It was a bit sweet in a demi-sec vouvray style, but the bottle only mentions that on the back unlike any other vouvray demi-sec I've ever seen. It has a very round and smooth, mouth filling body of sweet white peaches with a hint of gold apple along with almonds and honey. Though the alcohol was only at 12.5%, this wine had a bit of alcohol burn, which probably is present due to the lack of acidity going up against stronger alcohol and sugar contents. Could have been a bit more balanced but was all in all pretty decent.
