Shop Review: "Pale yellow.  High-pitched aromas of lemon zest and white flowers, with a piquant mineral overtone.  Dry, racy and focused, offering tangy lemon zest and green apple flavors and a touch of bitter herbs.  Closes with good clarity and cut, leaving a tart citrus fruit note behind.  This is pretty grown-up for the price, not to mention a superb value." - Vintage Cellar

My Review: This wine was extremely tart and very bitter. I thought this wine was also slightly dry. I mainly tasted the flavors of the lemon in this wine, which is probably what contributed to the tartness. I thought that this wine definitely tasted very citrusy and left a weird taste in the mouth. This was not my most favorite wine. 

Food: I drank this wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting, so I was unable to pair any foods to this wine.
