      Vibrant and balanced, offers aromas of white florals, honeysuckle, bright citrus and fresh white peaches. The palate is clean and mineral-driven with tones of mandarin and white nectarine. The finish is long continuing flavors of vibrant stone and citrus fruit woven with minerality.
    • The Beach By Whispering Angel Rose 2021, France

      Aromatic freshness on the nose followed by more subtle, fruity notes on the palate. The colorful and playful label has been called almost as perfect as the Rose itself. Signed and approved by Whispering Angel.
    • Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2019, Australia

      Fresh green lime, lemon sorbet, crisp cucumber aromas with hints of fresh cut lemongrass, pink peppercorn and wisteria blossom. The palate characteristics burst forth with lemon juice and lime zest creating a compelling liveliness. Hints of Muscat flower & cypress pine sap invoke the nearby coastal origin of this wine
    • Segura Viudas Brut Cava Tradicional 2018, Spain

      Clean and delicate, yet rich in flavor. This sparkling shows aromas of white fruits, citrus, tropical fruits, and light floral notes. The palate is exquisite, complex and full of flavor, with good acidity and notes of lime and pineapple. It is dry and long on the finish.
