Starfruit

Starfruit (also known as Carambola) is not frequently used to describe wine aromas or flavors, but probably should be used more often for light crisp wild whites, such as Gruner Veltliner and some Sauvignon Blancs. The aromas and flavors range from grassy or green leafy, to lemony citrus/lemongrass, to granny smith apples, to sweet green table grapes. The aroma is a bit grassier than the flavor, and the flavor is fruitier (apple and grapes).
