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: The nose on this wine was very floral. As amateur as it might sound, to me it smelled like white grape juice. Like white Welch's grape juice. It didn't really taste how it smelled to me, I got a taste of lime on the finish, which is probably due to the citrus flavors that are supposed to be present. It also had a vanilla element to it, but this was not as obvious as the lime-y citrus.
