Protea Rose 2014

Pale orange/coral blush. Delicate tangerine and mandarin vie for prominence on the nose with just a hint of red berry fruit too. In the mouth there is lovely vibrant freshness with oodles of tangy mandarin succulence which is balanced by a crisp dryness. Light, vivacious and animated, it offers up nectarine and orange rind flavours. Clean, focused dry finish.
