Tasting Notes: A truly delicious, summer-sipper with both rich orchard fruit and tangy citrus characters on the complex and long palate. Proceeded by an equaly complex and expressive nose of apple, pear, kiwi, gooseberry and flower aromas. This blend of 53% Chardonnay, 21% Sauvignon Blanc, 17% Semillon, 6% Viognier and 3% Muscat sits beautifully on your palate with generous mineral and spice notes accompaning the fruit profile. The lengthy, balanced finish speaks to its quality and care taken during the blending process to deliver a fun and enticing white wine. Drink now- 2015.

On a side note: Not likely to be found in any of its marketing material, but this wine makes an impressive pairing for your favourite chip-shaped munchables for when you want to add a touch of panache to your evening of delectable deluge.
