Winery Review: Predominantly fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, with a small portion barrel fermented in older French oak, the wine is blended, bottled and released three to four months after fermentation. The nose shows fragrant gooseberry characters with underlying passion fruit and lychee aromas. Minerally, stalky notes are evident and provide additional complexity. The palate is a fine and elegant style with zesty lemon acidity and length. Varietal characters of passion fruit pulp and gooseberry dominate with hints of lemon peel in the background.
My review: On the nose that was a strong floral smell with even a slight butter smell. This wine had a bit of a kick to it with some heat coming through. It was very dry and sour. I could feel the acid on my tongue and cheeks. Not my favorite wine.
I tasted this on its own with no food. I had just ate some gouda and that may have affected my tasting.
