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 zine 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 had lemons and grapefruit on the nose. It tasted sweet and sticky, with an odd zest on the finish, almost reminiscent of cat pee. The weird aftertaste made this wine unpalatable for me, and not something I would drink again!

I tasted this wine with on its own without food.
