Pale lemon yellow with medium-minus intensity. An interwoven nose of citrus, melon, gooseberry, lanolin, and gunflint with a smoky back end. Good balance with good mouthfeel. Juicy on the palate with the fresh aromas reflected on the palate followed by a medium-plus finish with some flavours lingering. A delicious glass of wine.

Golden straw with medium intensity. Aromas of apple, citrus, honeysuckle, minerality, pear, apricot, and pear on the nose. Good balance. Crisp fruit on the palate that echoes the nose followed by a medium finish. This is a pleasing social/patio wine and worked well with prawn and asparagus linguini.

Lemon yellow with medium-minus intensity. Lemon, mandarin, apple, toast, pie crust, honey, and almonds on the nose. Very good balance and full bodied. Big on the palate with flavours mirroring the nose. A medium-long finish with mouth-watering flavours lingering. So good and an excellent accompaniment to cedar planked salmon, pork tenderloin, or herb roasted chicken.
