Compagniesdrift Muscat 2017 - DISCONTINUED

Pale in colour with a vivid green hue. Pronounced muscat aromas on the nose, ripe tropical fruit, rose water and muscat spice makes for an enticing bouquet. On the palate the wine is fresh, with opulent fruit flavours, full mid palate balanced by limey acidity and with a long finish.

Grilled fish, white and red meat.
