Colour: Pale straw with youthful hints of green.
Nose: Forthcoming complexity of green pineapple, green peppers and green figs with a discreet flinty note offset by ripe passion fruit and papaya.
Palate: Crisp, tangy and fresh with attractive tropical fruit follow through and a tangy fresh citrus grapefruit finish.
Overall: A dry, palate-filling zesty wine showing flavours typical of its cool climate origins and classic cultivar aromas and flavours. Best enjoyed early to fully appreciate its youthful freshness, as this wine will develop into a richer more ‘asparagus’ style as it evolves.
Serve well chilled as an aperitif or with fresh oysters, fresh asparagus, salmon Florentine, fresh Tuna tartar, Pan fried Calamari, mussels in a creamy sauce, grilled prawns, langoustines, crayfish and smoked chicken salad.
