🍇 Tasting Notes
Pale straw with green highlights, the nose opens with inviting aromas of green apple, pear, lemon zest and ripe stone fruit, alongside delicate floral undertones. On the palate it is fresh, light- to medium-bodied with crisp acidity, juicy fruit flavours and a clean, lingering finish marked by citrus and subtle minerality.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, oysters, ceviche, sushi, fresh salads and goat’s cheese. Its bright acidity also complements Thai and Vietnamese dishes with citrus or chilli accents, as well as light pastas and creamy risottos. Serve chilled at 8–10 °C to showcase its vibrant freshness.
