Wine Reviewer Comments
Aromas of flowers and pomelo pith carry the nose of this vigorous wine. A lemon-lime tone highlights the lean, svelte palate and accentuates the relatively mild alcohol. This has a fun vibe that’s ready for the table and especially good with salads – Wine Enthusiast
It’s elegantly expressed on the palate showing green rockmelon, fig, Gala apple and lemon peel aromas on the nose, leading to a gently weighted palate displaying bright fruit flavours and fine texture. Restrained and delightfully styled – Wine Orbit
