Tasting Notes
Deep straw with golden hues, a bouquet of toastiness and development. Aromas of baked limes and apples, honeysuckle and honeyed orchard fruits, there’s a floral quality and seductive perfume of mineral and manuka. A delicious, fine silky textured wine touches the palate with a core of lime, apple and lemon fruit flavours accentuated by the acid line. Just dry with just a light tickle of sweetness, then flavours of honeysuckle and white spice. Balanced, lengthy and resoundingly delicious.
Food
Pairs well with sushi, seafood, and pork, with spicy Thai or Indian cuisine.
