Winery Review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa. 

My Review: Pretty clear, greenish yellow tint. Crisp, pear juice and herbal smell. Nice, I liked the bouquet and taste. It was citrusy and sweet yet a tad bitter in the aftertaste. Also a little vinegar taste, but it works along with the other flavors.

I tried this wine without food.
