tasting notes
Wine Style: A medium to full-bodied semi-sweet white wine with New World complexity that will seduce the sweeter as well as the off-dry palate.
Nose: Gracious grapefruit and orange zest on the nose creates curiosity as hints of peach join in a carnival of fruit aromas.
Palate: Peach flavours are joined by whiffs of candy floss and sunny mango before the palate is satisfied by a dry, non-jammy and lingering finish.
