Winemaker Notes
Pale straw in color with a tinge of green. Fresh and zesty aromas of guava, passion fruit pith, lemon grass and freshly mown lucerne hay. Light-bodied showing layers of fresh lemongrass and papaya flavors.
Fine, crunchy acidity helps to focus the taste buds on the finish, which is persistent, clean and utterly delicious when paired with Asian shredded chicken salad.
