Tasting Notes
Aroma – Subtle floral undertone and tantalising aromas of pear, melon, banana and hints of minerals characterise this wine.
Palate – Clean and fresh with melon and green apple following well from the nose onto the palate, ending with a hint of butterscotch. Well-structured with a long finish.
Food and Serving Suggestions
Best served chilled, accompanying a fresh garden salad, oysters, sushi, fish, light creamy pastas and chicken dishes.
