Flaxen coloured in appearance. On the nose, this enticing wine opens with aromas of late summer stone fruit, lemon, honeysuckle, along with tropical fruit and notes of wildflowers. On the palate, this dry wine is medium-bodied, balancing the acidity with a luscious mouthfeel. Enjoy on its own or even better with mild cheeses, oysters, seafood, or lemon chicken.
