Wine Review: This pale white gold colored white blend from the Margaret River is very good. It opens with a very fragrant ripe grapefruit bouquet with hints of wet stone and lime. On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied, a tad acidic, viscous and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a mineral infused mild grapefruit with notes of lime and white pepper. The finish is dry and its flavors linger and fade away nicely. This wine would be idea to pair with grilled swordfish kabobs. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Bright aromas of peach, green melon, passionfruit, and citrus, along with white jasmine floral notes and nuances of nettle and vanilla that create depth and complexity. The palate is soft and supple with layers of lemon, lime, guava, fig, and green apple followed by a taut, fresh finish.
