Tasting Notes
A good balance between natural sweetness and fresh acidity with prominent Muscat flavours on the nose, accompanied by ripe stone fruit, white apple and interesting spices on the palate. The wine finishes with a lingering aftertaste.
Food Suggestions
This wine can be enjoyed in wintertime with a spicy curry dish but can also be served well chilled on a hot summer’s day!
In The Vineyard
Terroir: Vineyards from different slopes and different soils were used for this blend. The cool nights and cool South-westerly wind in the afternoons cooled the vineyards down and helped to form the elegant fruit flavours. Soil types consisted of weathered granite to deep red and well drained soils.
Vineyard type: Bush Vine, supplement irrigation.
