Winery review: Perfect everyday drinking wine. A youthful fresh wine with quince and pear drop flavours. Earlier picked freshness shows on palate with crunchy green apple and grapefruit flavours. Good mouthfeel and appetisingly tangy finish.
My review: I feel that this is a very strong white wine. At first sniff it is very fruity and floral with a sour apple theme coming through on the nose. Upon tasting, it is full-bodied and well structured; it's semi-sweet, but also has a fairly large alcohol content which makes it feel heavier in body.
I had this wine with homemade pizza and garlic bread, but I really think it would go better with a spicy Asian or seafood dish.
