An excellent light SB, much more grassy than citric. This is a great warm weather cocktail wine, but stood up very nicely to Vietnamese style garlic noodles, steamed artichokes with cloves and faux hollandaise sauce, and cheese quesadillas with spicy salsa. The artichoke pairing is significant because, unless grilled, artichokes make wines taste significantly sweeter, and this wine was light enough to complement such a dish perfectly.

Bowen Home - Full flavoured, lemons and tropical fruits. Hint of honey, dry finish.

Pale straw colour with green hue. Citrus, gooseberry and fresh grass aromas with green apple and passion fruit notes. Ripe citrus and gooseberry on palate with balanced acids. Long savoury finish. Very nice.
