Winery Review: This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.


My Review: A decent sauvignon blanc with a vegetal and green-pepperish nose to it. On the palate, the wine is very vegetal as well. It had strong tones of green pepper and thyme to it. It would definitely go well with seafood.

I did not have this wine with food.
