The cellar treatment enhanced the delicate balance of the grapes. The green apple freshness, from the coolness of the vineyard, was maintained, alongside a light floral sweetness and the varietals gentle tropical fruit flavours.

Bright white gold in the glass, with an explosive nose of sweet melon, litchi rose and geranium followed by white pepper. A mouthwatering wine with great balance, elegantly structured with lively acidity and fragrant sweetness.
