Tasting Notes

The wine has an attractive pale lemon colour. There are notes of citrus fruit and baked apples, which are layered with a biscuity richness and delicious hint of hazelnut. The wine has a long and well-balanced finish.

Food Matches

Great as an aperitif wine, but also pairs well with Crab linguine, fresh oysters and goat’s cheese tart or a range of shellfish dishes.

The vines were able to bask in a long, relatively warm ripening period throughout the summer and autumn months. Picking commenced at the start of October and the grapes benefited from a longer than usual hangtime resulting in an excellent quality harvest.

Press Comments
