| Tasting Notes: |
Colour: Pale straw Nose: Lifted nettle, white currant and red capsicum with chalk and passionfruit undertones. Palate: A full flavoured and weighty wine, filled with intense varietal fruit flavours that linger on the long, crisp acid finish. Cellaring: 1-2 years Serve: Lightly chilled Suggested Foods: This wine is particularly well suited to seafood dishes, poultry dishes or summer salads |
| Winemaking: | The grapes were machine harvested in cool morning conditions to minimise the pick up of any phenolics. The clear juice was then racked and cold fermented using selected yeast strains to preserve the fruit’s intense varietal flavours. |
