WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Pungent and complex with passionfruit, citrus and blackcurrant. Smoke and gunflint notes and an underlying tropical richness.
Tropical fruits, blackcurrant leaf and an impression of volume are immediately apparent. Fresh lime and white stone fruits with boxwood and garden herbs lingering along with some very persistent thiols. Ripe, mouth fulling and lively.
Can be enjoyed with a variety of food. Serve it with veal, seafood (brilliant with oysters) or a chicken dish such as a mild chicken korma with crispy poppadoms.
TASTING NOTES:
The dried-citrus and apple character comes through clearly here on both the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with a pretty core of fruit and a subtle finish of candied apples.
