This very popular and well liked white is produced from the Caymus wine group. Clear crisp yellow in color with a floral nose of apricot, melon, green apple and honeysuckle. A mouth of melon,honeydew, pear and vanilla. A great wine for those that like melon. (Melon is not my cup of tea) But, well liked by many.

Light golden yellow color, with a nose of lemon, apple, pear and flowers(from the Muscat). A smooth mouth of apples and pears with a soft finish. Low in alcohol so it’s an easy drinking wine that would be good with salads or asian noodles. Serve chilled.
