Winemaker Review: This aroma wine shows lifted flavours of black currant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.

My Review: This was a very interesting wine. It had a weird aroma, which smelled earthy and almost like grass. The taste was relatively similar to the smell, but it had a mineral hint that lasted through the finish. I liked it because it was different, but overall not that tasty.

Food: No
