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: This
wine was fruity on the nose…very welcoming. Initially the grapefruit really
comes through and it’s very acidic and citrus-y. The finish wasn’t clean,
but overall I enjoyed it.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
