Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

An exceptional wine for the price: wow!Refreshingly herbal and grassy with some bright lime notes. Terrific aperitif or companion to salad and seafood. Food matches: shellfish, grilled chicken or pork.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Joe Hache rated this wine as 83/100 with the following review:

Found another of my favorite grapes from one of my favorite countries - crisp and refreshing citrus flavours with a clean finish - Serve chilled with chicken or pork satays or spring rolls
Through this wine we seek to highlight the terroirs expression, by adapting each vinification technique in order to extract the fruits' maximum potential. This wine is very fresh with an excellent balance of acidity.Mineral notes mingle with aromas of chili peppers, tomato leaf and lime. An intensely aromatic wine with a full flavoured palate.

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
