Description
Captivating aromas of passion fruit, peach, apple, and orchard blossoms. On the palate, it reveals a deliciously sweet-fruited core, and while tropical in nature, these flavours maintain are fined subtlety. Beautifully balanced acidity supports and carries the fruit, resulting in a wine that is simply magnificent in its harmony and depth. The influence of new oak is slight, allowing the fruit to shine. An utterly dense and complex wine, with a very long finish filled with flavours of ripe stone fruits.
Food Pairing
This wine will complement the aromatic and spicy elements of Thai green curry with chicken. The sweet-fruited core pair beautifully with the rich flavours of grilled salmon with a peach salsa. The wine’s aromas will add flair to a crispy pork belly with an apple and passionfruit glaze, while the acidity will aid in cutting through the rich fat.A wine that will also pair well with a goat-cheese-and-fig salad, or seared scallops or prawns in a rich buttery sauce.
