Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Aromas of yellow apple, lemon, honey, and a touch of petrol. Medium acidity and a slightly off-dry taste that follows the aromas quite well. Medium yellow apple finish.

I paired this with both a slightly spicy chicken soup and a bowl of mixed berries to great results.
Colin McKone rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Pale straw in colour with aromas of peach, lychee, lemon, pear and honeysuckle with the flavours of lemon, peach and lychee following through on the palate. It is medium bodied and well balanced. It will pair well with chicken, seafood or Asian dishes. A great value for the price.
Cherie Cole rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Such a pretty wine! The nose is bursting with aromas of lychee, peaches, honeysuckle and orange blossom. Light-medium body with a long, lychee and stone fruit finish. This wine would pair well with spicy shellfish. Tasted January 15, 2017.
Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a great-value gewürz-riesling from Prince Edward County. Its creamy texture and flavours of lychee, pear, honey and pink grapefruit make it the perfect pairing for spicy Asian foods or anything with a hint of sweetness to match its own. Yum!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
