Winery Review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.

My Review: This wine was filled with a wonderful, refreshing fruit aroma. The main scent was of green apple. Like the aroma this wine had a refreshing palate. Although it was semi-dry it tasted of delicious crisp green apples. It had a long lasting floral finish that left a delightful taste on the tongue.

Food: N/A
