Yellow grapefruit, green toffee apples and lime cordial. Bosch pear and self raising flour. Zesty acidity with a snap to the dryness of the palate. There is a shortbread biscuit crumble with lemon pith and cashew creaminess. This is made for the dining table or to be passed around during cocktail hour, a blanc de blancs that would compliment cheesy arancini balls or scallop crudo. Extra points for minimising the hangover by keeping the sugar low and citrus fruit high and mighty.
