Pale straw colored with a watery sheen (12.5% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of peach, nectarine, honeysuckle, white blossom, rose petal and ginger- not at all what I was expecting from this $7 bottle. The palate is off-dry with medium (+) acidity and a rather full body. Medium intensity flavors of peach and nectarine with rose water and white blossoms. The finish is floral with blossom and honeysuckle, it lasts a medium length. Tasty and far more complex that I was expecting- well worth the money for a refreshing aperitif or to go with grilled mackerel or smoked salmon. 89 points from me and 5 stars, might need to stock a few for the short term. Drink on purchase up to 2 years. Made from a relatively new grape, certainly new to me- Royal Maiden. Salut….
