“The Gecko” Gecko’s are fascinating creatures. At first glance, they seem flimsy and fragile. But they are cunning and constantly adapting, surviving in some of the most inhabitable places on earth where the odds are often stacked against them. Much like vines that are often also called the perfect weed because of their ability to adapt and thrive in the most unlikely circumstances. They will climb up massive trees to reach sunlight for survival and reproduction. If the vine is tended and managed optimally, it produces delicious grapes. The Fruits of Labour that can be enjoyed on its own OR, if you possess the virtue of patience, used to create something even more rewarding and delectable over time. Wine.
Description
Elegant and Finely Poised. Clean and fresh flavours of Lemon, bruised Granny Smith Apple, Strawberries, and Citrus Blossom. The palate is lean, mineral, and flinty with a distinctive Oyster-shell savoury quality. A bright acidity cuts through a creamy subtle brioche note on the breadth of the palate, lengthening the exhilaration of this fine-beaded euphoria.
Food Pairing
Shrimp and shellfish, smoked salmon, caviar, fried calamari, and oysters.
