Tasting notes

Colour Bright straw green.

Bouquet Refreshingly intense concentration of citrus, tropical fruits and fragrant fresh summer herbs, underpinned by an appealing degree of minerality.

Palate Generous full bodied wine displaying an excellent balance of fruit and acidity with a fine citrus infused finish, a portion of indigenous ferment adding depth and richness.

Food Match Seafood – especially oysters, scallops and mussels, but also salads, white meats and mild cheeses.

Cellaring Ideally enjoyed young, but may be cellared for several years.
