South by South West Fiori 2023

A blend of Muscat, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. An avalanche of lychee skins, rambutans and white nectarine. Winter melon and white strawberry. Mango skin, papaya and lemon juice. Soaring acidity and grapefruit citrus with a kiss of fruit sweetness. This wine is vivacious and lively, that’s for sure, living life to her absolute best ability. This is the chatterbox, social darling of the pink drink wines. It’s full of cherry blossom charm without being sweet and cloying, finishing dry and crisp. Like the crunch of an in season Pink Lady apple. Drink now with salty feta, watermelon and mint salad.
