Tasting Note

Pale yellow color, with golden hues. Intense aromas of banana, pineapple, pear, and melon and complex flavors of coconut and vanilla with delicate notes of honey. Refreshing acidity invites you to drink more than one glass. 

 

Pairing

Ideal with creamy, seasoned, or spicy cheeses, seafood, prawns, crabs, and fruit desserts.

Ready to drink but will develop favourably in bottle for 3 or 4 years.
