“Celery salt & citrus, broad, slight spice lift. Zingy, moreish with good flavour, phenolics add to length. Food : interestingly, the phenolics aren?t affected as much with PG!”

“A crisp dry wine with light flavours of pear and grapefruit that improves markedly with food, seemingly richer and more flavoursome.”

“Pale lemon, green hints. Subtle citrus, white-pepper and celery-seed aromas. Lively palate, clean spicy/pepper flavours, good even mid-palate, very clean dry finish. Food: The dish highlights the lightness and liveliness of the wine, and the savoury/pepper characters in the wine work well with the dish.”

“Bright clean green fruit on the nose and palate. Great structure with lovely mid palate texture. Subtle citrus flavours linger. A great match with the snapper dish as the greens of the wine and the dill flavours married in well.”

“Light straw. Slightly minty, pepper, dill-tinged melon Med-full, lightly lime tinged, dill, melon, apple elegant balanced palate. Fresh appley finish. Fairly neutral mutual impact, although food brought out a slight creaminess in the wine”

“Attractive mineral nose , very much a savoury style. The palate has a delicious savoury character with slatey notes and a refreshing herbal edge. This savoury style is an excellent foil to food.”
