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: The word I would use to describe this wine is fresh; the nose was wicked fresh and that taste was very fruit-forward and fresh throughout. The attack was a nice blend of pineapple and flowery flavors and it blended into a slightly more tart apple flavor towards the mid-palate. The finish was short and smooth and left me wanting more. Whenever I'm in the mood for a fresh glass of white wine after a long day in the hot sun, I certainly wouldn't mind a bottle of this.

I did not try this with food.
