Description

"A brilliant Awatere district expression, the intensely aromatic bouquet shows nectarine, rockmelon, feijoa and lime zest characters, which lead to a concentrated palate that is filled with delicious fruit flavours, wonderfully supported by fine texture and bright acidity. It is upfront and punchy, and delivers loads of attractive flavours. At its best: now to 2019."  Sept 2016. Sam Kim

Aromatics of ripe pear, melon and lychee, along with floral notes and white peach give way to a silky, textural palate with fresh, lively flavours. This wine is finely balanced and has lovely length of flavour. Stainless steel fermented and crafted to retain the delicate fruit aromatics of the variety. This wine has been made with minimum handling and a focus on balance, purity and length of flavour.

A great all-around wine which is very versatile with food matches. Seafood, Asian Cuisine, Antipasto, grilled vegetables, soft-ripened cheese.
