•Critic 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.

My Review: This wine was light in color and had a grassy, herbal smell to it. It had very low acidity and tasted juicy rather than dry. It ended a little tart but nothing dramatic. Overall I liked this wine, but felt that it was sort of bland to me.
No food was eaten with this tasting.
