"Beautifully ripe and delightfully fragrant, the bouquet shows ripe peach, rockmelon, Gala apple and lemon/lime zest aromas on the nose, leading to a lively palate that delivers juicy fruit flavours and bright acidity. Upfront and very appealing" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2020

This wine features fresh aromas of ripe grapefruit, lemon zest and green apple. The wine shows an instantly inviting sensation of crisp acid and tropical fruit on the palate with familiar Marlborough characters of sweet pea, lime and background notes of oatmeal and mango.

Harvested in the cool of the early morning over 5 separate picks, the fruit was selected from stony sites near the winery with early flavour ripeness. The parcels were fermented separately in a mix of stainless steel tanks and small oak barrels, with a degree of natural and malolactic fermentation adding richness and complexity. Residual sugar 6.5g/L.

Easy Tiger is best within the first two years of harvest, but will develop ageing characters of toast, lime and peach whilst softening and mellowing over the next 5 years. Naturally crafted to be lower in alcohol. A light, refreshing easy choice.

Food Pairing: This wine is delicious paired with grilled flounder or fresh oysters.
