TASTING NOTES

Light golden straw gold in colour; displays rich, ripe fruit characters reminiscent of lychee and peach. Mingled in between are delicate aromas of hazelnuts, kiwi, combined with subtle complexity bringing to this wine it's delicate aromatic structure. There is an underlying richness from the time spent on lees and a subtle complexity of the malolactic ferment component. The finish is soft with a hint of fruit sweetness balanced by the right amount of natural acid to leave a long, flavoursome finish.
