Wine Colour
Light yellow with a slight green hue.

Wine Bouquet
A fresh varietal bouquet with aromas of melon, white peach and lime. Savoury characters of cashews and baked biscuit enhance the complexity of the aroma.

Wine Palate
This is a rich style of wine which is generous in palate weight and flavour. Varietal flavours of peach and melon are evident throughout and the mid-palate is wonderfully mouth-filling. Subtle flavours of nuts and spice such as cinnamon are evidence of maturation in good quality French oak barrels.

Cellaring Notes
Immediately approachable upon release but will reward careful to 2009, possibly longer.
