Description

"A super interesting wine and a variety that I have never tasted before. Bold and punchy aromas of lemon curd, juicy lime, a drizzle of fresh honey and white flowers. Flavours of citrus and white stone fruit are joined by sweet lemon and the wine finishes with a light minerality" The Wine Writer

This limited-edition wine displays citrus orange zest and fresh white peach aromas complimented with notes of marzipan, spice and honey. The palate is silken with mouth watering flavours, mineralised acids and a hint of sweetness.
