Tasting note
What's the conundrum here? This is an unorthodox white blend - but it's a delicious one, with notions of peach, melon, spring flowers and a touch of honeyed lychee. Pair with Thai or southern Indian cuisine, spicy seafood dishes or soft, salty cheeses.
Under the greenish yellow colour, the intense and complex nose evokes spicy, floral and fruity notes. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied mouthfeel that leads into a medium finish. Enjoy this dry, medium-bodied and fruity white featuring light acidity.
On the nose are notes of guava, cherimoya, peach and honeysuckle. On the palate are flavours of peach and apricot nectar, pear and green melon with spicy vanilla notes.
Powerful aromas of green apple, tangerine zest and honeysuckle. Core flavors of apricot, melon, pear and light vanilla are beautifully balanced by the sparkling acidity of citrus fruits. The lush, creamy, mouth-filling texture is heightened by powerful floral and bright tropical fruit notes and leads to a full, powerful finish.
Explore this puzzling wine as rich aromas of honeysuckle escape from the glass, followed by hints of peach, vanilla and citrus notes. On the palate, lush tropical flavors of melon, pineapple and pear are matched with crisp lemon zest and hints of grapefruit. The complexity of this wine is brought into balance by a rich, round mouthfeel supported by fresh acidity, creating a stunning, satisfying finish.
Featured in TASTE Magazine, Spring 2012 issue. The aromatic bouquet of this fantastic wine leaves you almost breathless. Soft peach, sweet honeysuckle and fragrant jasmine fill the senses. The juicy passion fruit, melon and white flower flavours are soft with a mouth coating, rich finish that lasts. Simply beautiful!
