Apart from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, this wine has had a touch of Pinot Gris added to it. Bright pale straw colour with waterlike hue. Delicate nose of confectionary, pear, gooseberry and tropical fruit. The palate delivers a flavour profile that one might find in a tinned tropical fruit cocktail – ripe kiwi fruit, ripe pear, ripe gooseberry with hints of ripe mandarin and lemon. Soft acid finish. Aftertaste of spice, kiwi fruit and ripe pear.
