| Verdict | Light-bodied and gently rounded, with melon flavor, a dry overall impression and fresh acidity. Melon and a mouthwatering sensation persist after the sip. | Research record | White flowers, pear, and sharp citrus on the nose; guava and pink grapefruit on a crisp, saline palate that lingers instead of collapsing into sugar. |

| Likeness | Convincingly white-wine-like, with gentle roundness, subtle sweetness and mouthwatering acidity forming a balanced whole. The overall dry impression and lingering melon flavor give this light-bodied wine a satisfying sense of completeness. | Research record | Very good: floral citrus and mineral tension read as a serious white blend, not flavored water. |
