• Wine critics say it is a bleached blonde beauty and reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple, with hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth and leaves behind notes of thyme and melon. The bright acid in this Sauvignon Blanc gives you a "zing" while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This white wine pairs best with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.
• I found the nose to be full of lemon and herbs, with citrus in the background. On the palate, it was quite acidic but with a nice complement of lemon and melon.
• I did not taste with food.
