Marvelous Triple Pack - Red, Blue & Yellow

Aromas are a heady mix of floral decadence and austere mineral notes. There’s a subtle hint of creamy oak there too, but just a touch. The Palate comes together beautifully. Wonderfully ripe tropical flavours are kept in check by razor sharp acidity, giving the wine a crystalline purity which lasts long into the finish.

1. Malay scented prawn risotto with heaps of coriander & lime is a perfect match for this white blend. There is more than enough fresh acidity in the wine to handle a good squeeze, and the wood is just enough to complement the buttery risotto. 2. Think of slices of cured salmon trout on a lightly smoked potato salad with a fennel & orange salad. Smokey dishes develop aromatic compounds which are similar to the ones found in charred wood barrels.
