A zippy white wine with terrific grapefruit notes and refreshing lime and herbal zest. Medium-bodied with no heavy oak. This wine is perfect for your New Year's resolution to eat a little lighter after the holidays as it pairs beautifully with white fish, salads and vegetarian dishes. I also love it for movie night as an aperitif to sip on while watching The Help.
