• Red berries
• Grapefruit
• Toasted nuts
• Long finish

The wine is straw yellow in colour. The nose is fresh and lifted with toasty and bready notes. Fleshed and rounded, the palate shows bright red berries with underlying grapefruit flavours balanced by secondary yeast autolysis characters of toasted nuts. Elegant and well balanced with a long, lingering aftertaste.
