NOTES
The Angove family company, Angove's Pty. Ltd., is one of Australia's largest privately owned wine companies and stands as one of the few with strong interests in distilling as well as grape growing and winemaking. The origins of Angove's as a company have more to do with satisfying a way of life rather than a determination to establish a wine and brandy producing business. Dr. William Angove, an accomplished general practitioner and surgeon, with his wife and young family, emigrated from Cornwall in 1886 to establish a medical practice in South Australia.
TASTING NOTES
Bright pale-medium straw with some green hues this wine displays a lifted floral nose with citrus and tropical flavours. These floral characters carry through on the palate, underpinned with lime and citrus. A delicate refreshing wine with a clean finish of great length
REVIEWS
Has a voluminous and striking bouquet, the aromas with tropical notes verging on traminer; the wine backs off a little on the palate, no had thing, but has continuity and length to the citrus flavours and crisp finish. Screwcap. 12.5% alc. Rating 93 Drink 2012 James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011
