Shop Review: Predominantly fermented at cool temperatures in stainles steel tanks, with a small portion barrel fermented in older French oak, the wine is blended, bottled and released three to four months after fermentation. The nose shows fragrant gooseberry characters with underlying passionfruit and lychee aromas. Minerally, stalky notes are evident and provide additional complexity. The palate is a fine and elegant style with zesty lemon acidity and length. Varietal characters of passionfruit pulp and gooseberry dominate with hints of lemon peel in the background.
My Review: This wine was crisp, with different fruit flavors. It was dynamic, and I was not surprised to read in the review that it contained passionfruit flavors. It really opened up upon second taste. I had this wine alone without food.
