This is my first wine from the Netherlands that I can recall. Tasted on board a KLM Flight. Schouwen-Druiveland is apparently one of the sunniest and driest areas of the country. The wine is a white blend of Auxerrois, Rivaner (Müller-Thurgau), and Pinot Blanc. Very pale silvery/gold in color. The nose is nice with some peach and some pear notes. A bit of chalkiness. Light bodied but very precise. On the palate, more apples with moderate acidity. Nice finish. Overall, a nice wine that will work well with lighter and medium foods. It will work well with pasta with a tomato sauce. Drink over the next couple of years.
