Pale straw with green highlights. Powerful gooseberry, white currant, red capsicum, passionfruit, and lime peel aromas. Medium-bodied, with strong flavours of makrut lime, passionfruit, lemongrass and a refreshingly smooth, dry and persistent finish.

Pair with fresh, leafy green salads; goats cheese; seafood of all types; and dishes with lifted, aromatic herbs.
