Shop Review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of
fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The
concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes
of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you
a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This
wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a
grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango
salsa.
Personal Review: Nose is acidic and citruseque. Tastes of green apples and then what I can assume are the hibiscus blossoms (but I'm not really sure what those are or what they taste like for certain, just got something reminiscent of floral that I am not familiar with). Finish of melon. One of the better sauvignon blanc's that I have tried. Not at all like cat pee!
Food Paring: not tasted with food
