TASTING NOTES

This wine has a pale lemon hue with an abundance of tropical fruit aromas – pineapple, peach, pear and apricot. The palate is medium-bodied, with ripe orange and grapefruit flavours. The stellar balance between the fruit, acidity and oak components. The fruit complexity carries through to the finish, with a touch of vanilla on the aftertaste.
