A punchy wine with lime skin, lemon balm and in season feijoa. There are some quaint apple blossoms notes and with a swift decant these lift from the glass. Acidity sweeps in underfoot, taking apples into the tart green appletini lines. A bone dry wine with the thirst quenching nature of Riesling and crunchy succulence you’d expect from cool climate Tasmania. Go for Thai starters like chicken larb or fish cake, the herbs will set this on fire.
