"Plenty of flint, white pepper and lemon with hints of grapefruit. Medium body. Attractive fruit and density. Drink now or hold." James Suckling
5 Stars - Sam Kim

"Pristine and elegantly aromatic, the wine shows apple, green pear, lemon peel and jasmine notes, leading to a finely flowing palate that's succulent and lingering. Beautifully rounded and fleshy with a lengthy juicy finish." Sam Kim

Fragrant notes of Beurre Bosc pear, red apple, honeysuckle with a hint of clove and aniseed are displayed on the nose.

Palate: Ripe pear and apple flavours, with hints of savoury yeast lees notes and a thread of minerality on the palate. Dry to taste, this wine has gentle acidity and supportive, fine-textural tannins which promotes a long, clean finish to this wine.

Made to be enjoyed with food. We recommend dishes featuring richer seafoods, mushrooms, light game and poultry.

Serve: Lightly chilled.
