74% Sauvignon Blanc – 26% Chardonnay
Lemon straw with a nose of white stone fruit, ripe peach, ginger, citrus and the zest of grapefruit with some almond flavours from the wood. On the palate, the layered complexity of tropical fruit and some eartiness accents. A nice acidity that is covered with a little drop of sweetness to make the whole structure of the wine more appealing.
