Winery Review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit
vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.
My Review: On the nose I detected a lot of apple aromas, my favorite! I love me some apples. This wine tasted very fruity to me and I picked up on apple and pear flavors, possibly a slight vanilla taste as well. I think this wine is perfect for the current season and warm weather. It was a little acidic but with a great fruit balance that didn't leave my mouth feeling super dry.
