Review found online: On tastings.com, a reviewer stated this wine had aromas of peach gummy rings, raspberry leaves, canned pear, and dried wildflowers with a light-to-medium body and a short-to-medium melon and peach hard candies, mango rings, and fruit punch finish. A pleasant peach party in your mouth.
Wine Folly references: Although I could not find the exact varietals of this wine, it does share the sweet, fruit-forward profile of wines like Moscato and Riesling, especially those with peach and floral notes. Wine Folly describes Riesling as an aromatic white variety that can produce white wines ranging in style from bone-dry to very sweet (p. 158). This wine has high sweetness and is very light-bodied and acidic.
My review: I would rate this wine a 4/10. I got this wine from the gas station, so I didn't expect very much, and it also didn't surprise me. It was alright, but I don't think I would try it again. On the website I found the review from, it said it would pair well with peach salsa and chips, and I think that would make it taste better, and I would try it again with that pairing. When I first smelled the wine, it had a very strong peach smell, almost like candy or artificial peach flavoring. It also had a hint of citrus, specifically lemon. It was light and refreshing at first but had a bitter aftertaste that I did not enjoy. Overall, this wine was not my favorite, and the artificial peach smell made me feel a little sick. I didn't try this wine with any food, and I think it would pair best with the recommendation from the website, but not anything else.
