TASTING NOTES
International Wine Challenge 2005 - Seal of Approval
Colour: Pale yellow with a youthful green tinge.
Nose: Attractive tropical pineapple and melon aromas with discreet floral and creamy vanilla tones.
Palate: Dry, medium bodied entry, with well rounded ripe tropical fruit salad flavours well balanced by a crisp lemon lime finish of pleasing length.
Overall: A medium bodied dry white wine with elegantly integrated varietal characteristics - crisp Colombard fruit supported by creamy Chardonnay fullness, makes this an attractive and approachable blend.
IN THE VINEYARD
