An ideal wine by itself or paired with fresh seafood or Southeast Asian cuisine.After harvest, the grapes were crushed and direct pressed with minimal skin contact. The clarified juice was then cool fermented to optimise varietal expression, flavour, and intensity. There was no wood and minimal skin contact. We used five different yeasts to ensure that we profiled the fruit and kept the fresh acidity.FOOD PAIRINGS An ideal wine by itself or paired with antipasto, fresh seafood, South East Asian cuisine.TASTING NOTES Colour Pale gold.Aroma A delightfully aromatic nose of pear backed up with quince jelly and floral notes.Palate Fresh, crisp pears on the palate with a generous mouthfeel.
