Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Description: Ranked # 3 in kosherwine.com 's Top 10 wines of 2010. Tasting Note : Unabashedly sweet but with enough natural acidity to carry that and keep the wine lively. Generously frizzante and on the nose and palate spring flowers and heather, those complemented nicely by notes of citrus and ripe peaches. A good quaffer but if it proves too sweet for your taste simply add two ice-cubes to your glass. Drink now. Score - 85. (Daniel Rogov, wine-lovers-page.com, November 2010) “ And now for my review.

At the first sips this lightly bubbly wine was pleasantly sweet with good acidity and citrus. Japanese Wasabi crackers cut the acidity somewhat. The first meal was barbecued chicken with lots of paprika on the skin. The sweetness was there, but tamed. The citrus was very tasty but I had the impression I was imbibing a soft drink. With zesty guacamole the wine retained its sweetness. The fruit juice candy dessert took away the libation’s fruit.
