The
Vintage Cellar 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 zing
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: First there comes forward a smell of
metal, but then it smells like a sweet fruit.
There is a different and very distinct mid-palate compared to the feel
on the tip of my tongue and the finish.
There is a mineral after taste.
It is peachy and smooth with a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. It is really smooth and pleasant without
food.
