Winemaker's Comments
Light yellow in colour. The nose opens with pronounced aromas of tropical fruit, ripe passion fruit, guava, and white peach, layered with notes of citrus blossom and fresh lime zest. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively with bright natural acidity balancing the generous fruit profile. Flavours of gooseberry, granadilla, and ripe melon carry through to a clean, textured finish. Drink through 2028.
Food Pairing Suggestion
Enjoy with oysters, mussels, grilled prawns, fresh salads, sushi and goat's cheese.
