Winery Review: This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.
My Review: This white wine had very earthy aromas. I picked up on some type of grass and minerals. On the palate, it was surprisingly acidic, but not overwhelming. It was medium bodied, with lots of earth on the finish. I did not taste this wine with food.
