Nose
Starts out powerful on the nose, going on to reveal delicate aromas of white fruit, pear and citrus.
Palate
Starts out beautifully straightforward on the palate, becoming round and full-bodied mid-palate. Pleasantly fresh on the finish, contributing a lovely long aftertaste. A well-balanced wine with delicious aromas of white fruit following through to the palate.
