It has nice white florals on the nose. Lean citrus, citrus blossoms in a dry but simple style.

#sample: So tell me, where can I find pearl meat?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m dying to try this Henschke family favourite sautéed pearl meat recipe 👩‍🍳! The dish was created by Anthony Lui, Executive Chef at The Flower Drum in Melbourne. And you guessed it, this Peggy’s Hill 2016 Eden Valley recipe is the perfect match!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My tasting note 📝: It’s a mighty delicious looking yellow shade in the glass (damn right yellow can be delicious - especially when it’s in wine form!). The nose is wonderfully floral and citrus driven which makes me think of lemongrass. In the mouth it’s crisp and dry (just how I like em!) with apple 🍎 and lemon 🍋 notes coming through for me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This bottle comes from the newly released @wineselectors ‘Family Favourites Collection’ which is a case of wine from Australia’s First Families of Wine’s @affw. The case includes each families fave wine and recipe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To help celebrate I have a 10% discount code you can use storewide at www.wineselectors.com.au - simply spend over $150 and type in promo code ‘TTCS’ at checkout 🍾🍾🍾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

Pleasant enough nose, light fizzy lime, but not much snowing on the palate, finishing with a whack of acid.
