TASTING NOTES
The colour is a pale straw with platinum tints and a sensational lustre. On the nose, it explodes with massive aromas of lychee and strawberry, kiwifruit and passionfruit and fresh aromas of cut grass. bouquet leads into explosive flavours of gooseberry, blackcurrant and fresh, sweet herbs. The palate is dry and crisp with a fine acidity to balance the pungent array of flavours that linger on the finish.
OTHER NOTES
Water pale with just the slightest hint of lemon to the hue, this is bright and pungently aromatic with tropical fruit, tangelo and gooseberry on the nose carrying through to the clean, ripe, fruit-filled palate. It's quite dry with a tongue tickling spritziness and an illusion of toastiness to the tangy finish and is as easily as good as last years multiple gold medal winner. A classy savvy that's going to be another star. 13.4% alc Sue Courtney, Wine of The Week, September 8 2007
