Somewhere between straw yellow and gold in color, this wine is marked by fascinating, exotic aromas (pineapple and grapefruit) with a hint of smoke. These same notes are carried over into the taste, although the lively fruitiness and the slight tart note in the background represent a certain departure from the customary Szamorodni style.

Culinary recommendation:: Another winner in the company of entrées garnished with fruit, or liver dishes, or assorted cheeses - even Chinese food!
