The inconspicuous-looking green shriveled feijoa fruit does not attract much attention at the first meeting. But those who have had a chance to try an exotic berry note its unusual taste, combining notes of strawberry, pineapple and kiwi.
A very interesting bouquet for home winemakers. The only “minus” is an inexpressive aroma, but for real gourmets this is not a hindrance at all: it is enough to choose a good accompaniment for it.
