Honeysuckle on the nose. Very pleasant and not sweet. Smooth pink grapefruit with a hint of brown sugar.

The Characteristics
The nose of this wine displays an enticing mix of white stonefruits and sweet pineapple with an underlying hint of ginger.

The palate is luscious and flavoursome, again nectarine and peach are prominent, with a twist of candied citrus rind.

These sweet flavours evolve through the palate into more savoury flavours reminiscent of raw almonds and spice. A generous, textural wine with a surprising finesse on the finish.

Easy drinking, perfect with crab cakes. Reminds me of Maui.
