The palate is clean and fresh, with subtle tropical fruit flavours like pineapple and melon, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. The cool climate acidity brings a refreshing quality, while the careful oak treatment adds just the right amount of richness.

Perfect Serve

Serve chilled and enjoy with a wide range of dishes. It pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, creamy pasta, or fresh seafood. The cool climate acidity makes it especially versatile, complementing everything from light bites to more indulgent meals.
