This wine shows a prominent pomelo vibe – think the floral side of grapefruit – and it works perfectly against the saline minerality and mild green chili pepper notes. Bright acidity delivers it all in layered, refreshing fashion from start to finish. Pairing wise, I’m thinking a tossed green salad with red bell pepper, grapefruit sections, and a blue cheese vinaigrette is the ticket to pleasure here.
