Darling Cellars Lime Kilns 2009

This wine shows green and light yellow colour. A rich combination of peaches, citrus and vanilla on the nose. On taste the wine is complex and very well balanced with a firm structure and clean flavours. The tannins, alcohol and fruit are not overpowering and this fine balance makes this a definite food wine. The wine will gain more complexity with further maturation.
