Beautiful on it's own or it works well with a white meat dish. Also great with seafood - try fresh scallops or prawns tossed through a green salad!

Best enjoyed while young.

Production Notes:
After harvest the grapes were quickly crushed and pressed into stainless steel tanks where the juice was fermented at controlled cool temperatures to capture the intense varietal flavours. The wine was then blended and bottled.

This wine displays lifted tropical fruits with notes of capsicum. There is a passionfruit entry on the palate coupled with citrus and wild cape gooseberry notes that linger, and are quite literally mouthwatering! This is a balanced wine with lovely texture.
