Notes of lime and lemon interweave with traces of citrus peal on the nose. Lime, under ripe honeydew, and lemon flavors come together with allusions of grapefruit zest on the palate. Bright fruit and a light mouth-feel make this wine a good match for grilled halibut.

Review:
Aromatics of tart apples, crisp pears, and grapefruits mingle with a hint of minerals on the nose. With a sip, flavors of green apple, lime, and grapefruit combine with a whisper of fresh herbs and minerals. The wine is fairly crisp but still has a bit of roundness on the palate; pair it with grilled chicken breasts marinated with herbs and citrus fruit juice.
