Description
This wine displays a vibrant light straw colour. Aromas of lemon curd, limeskin, oatmeal and toasted almond emanate from the glass. The wine enters the palate with bold, ripe yellow citrus flavours leading to a creamy mid-palate. There is a continuous saline focus and feeling of freshness throughout that suggests this wine will age beautifully for at least a decade. Food pairing: Best served with grilled fish - roasted white meats or creamy white cheese.
