I was a bit skeptical about a white from such a hot region, but the elderflower aroma is incredibly fresh and balanced. It paired beautifully with our grilled seafood last night.

Opened this on a scorching evening and the elderflower note hit first, then the juicy apricot came through on the finish. It’s surprisingly refreshing for a hot-climate white, and the peach aroma made it feel like a summer dessert in a glass.

The peach and apricot notes are exactly as described, making it a lovely pick for a light pasta night. Just wish the bottle had a bit more lingering finish for the price, but it's a solid everyday white.
