Tasting Notes
The colour is fresh vibrant pale straw with lime green edges.The bouquet shows lemon sherbet, lime, green pineapple and crisp golden delicious apples.The wine's textural component is immediately evident as bright and lively across the palate from the barrel fermented portion of the wine. There is great intensity of flavour with lemon and lime the most dominant with a refreshing finish of green apples. The palate is balanced with a fine racy acidity which fans out to a very long and lingering finish.
