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 passionfruit 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 passionfruit pulp and gooseberry dominate with hints of lemon peel in the background.
My review: This wine was just "OK" for me. I thought it was a bit hot. I did like the woody herbal flavors and it had a very zesty aftertaste. I didn't get too much of a passionfruit taste which I think was overpowered by the alcohol.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
