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: This wine had a slight flowery, crisp lemon, almost sour aroma to start us off.  The taste was a tart apple, that was sour, with a light finish of fruitiness.  I was not a huge fan of this wine and would probably not try it again.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
