Res sugar | 2.0g/L |

Colour: | At bottling the wine was very pale with light green tints. With time we expect that it will develop some pale gold hints. |
Bouquet: | Pure and fresh, with hints of honeysuckle and melon. |
Palate: | Surprisingly full bodied, with great length and presence on the palate. |
“It is beautifully expressed on the nose showing rockmelon, citrus, jasmine and subtle spicy characters, leading to an elegantly weighted palate that is rounded and generously textured. The wine is flavoursome offering ripe fruit flavours together with bottle matured complexity, making it a delightful drink.” Sam Kim
