Wine Review: This pale yellow wine opens with a light lime bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, balanced, with light lime like flavors. The finish is dry and nicely refreshing. Enjoy this wine with chicken, broccoli, and penne with a rich cream sauce. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Bright with a fresh softly green hue. Subtle yet exotic notes of white peach and pink grapefruit, compliment gooseberry and passionfruit aromas. Lifted stone fruit and citrus is framed by a finely textured palate and zesty acidity with a classic Awatere flinty mineral background. Match with baked whole fish, couscous, and fresh tasty salads
