What to expect
What to expect
Appearance: Does not look watery at all with nice pale straw colour.
Nose: Does smell like wine. Slightly oaky/smoky; no strong fruit aromas.
Palate: Very simple medium sweet wine with syrupy texture and flavours of tinned peaches, pears and melons. No oak coming through. Light and refreshing. Drink very chilled.
ACCEPTABLE HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE FOR £4.
LIGHT, REFRESHING AND A 1/3 LESS CALORIES/GLASS.
