“Slight developed colour. Spice spike, slight citrus lift, toast, broad. Sweet/sour, lacks balance, very hard acid finish. Food : sweet/sourness enhanced, making the wine appear quite skinny.”

“A lot of fruit here featuring red apple and lime but medium length that seemed to become more intense with the food”

“Pale lemon-straw. Lemon and meringue aromas. Lemon/lime juice flavours, crisp acid, dry structured finish. Food: Good combination, though wine is a little too dry for the sweet eggplant.”

“Bright florals on the nose. Slight honey suckle characters on the palate. Hints of lemon and lime on the finish with a lovely acid back bone. Works well with the Japanese eggplant dish as the wine is bright clean and fresh to the end.”

“Fresh, mineral, floral grapey nose. Light, dry, high acid, fresh mineral balanced, slightly chalky grapefruit. Dry finish. Long. Food dried out wine.”

“Interesting nose with both citrus and lanolin aromas. Palate shows excellent primary fruit with a lovely line of flavour onto the back palate. The wine adds interest to the food and vice versa.”
