Winery Review:  "Aromas of pithy citrus and pineapple are decent but unrefined, while flavors of tangerine and pineapple are tropical, zesty and what they are. This is nothing more than a fresh, simple, citrusy white to sip on the patio."

My Review: 

This white wine was surprisingly rough on the palate, while still having a light texture.  It started very acidic, bitter, and tart, and ended dry.  Overall I did not enjoy the wine, but I think this is a wine that would benefit from a food pairing (which I did not participate in).
