Professional Notes: This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.

My Review: This wine was pale yellow in color. The nose smelled of grass and vegetables, especially bell peppers. The vegetable smell was in the taste as well. The wine was medium bodied. I'm not a huge fan of the vegetable taste, but the wine was decent.
