Tasting Notes
A very aromatic bouquet of lemon pepper, lime and grapefruit. Hints of ginger carries through to the palate that is perfectly balanced with white pear and gooseberries. The acidity is racy and the wine ends in a long and saline finish. The subtle use of oak helps to uplift the fruity characters of this versatile cultivar.
