Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Passionfruit and lemongrass lead the aromatics, with tropical fruit notes following through. The palate is crisp and light-bodied with kiwifruit and green-apple freshness, finishing dry and citrus-driven.

Winemaking

Made in a bright, clean style to keep Sauvignon Blanc’s lifted aromatics and crisp finish intact. Cool fermentation helps preserve that passionfruit-and-lemongrass perfume and the snappy citrus line.

Vineyard & Vintage

From organically managed vineyards selected for freshness and flavour. Cool-climate conditions help lock in citrus lift and natural acidity, giving this wine its crisp, refreshing finish.

Why We Love It

Because it’s an instant palate-brightener—zesty, aromatic and ridiculously food-friendly. It’s also a genuine Spicy-Food Specialist: the crisp acidity works beautifully with chilli, herbs and lime.

Food Pairing

Seafood, salads, goat’s cheese and anything herby are your best friends here. Think prawns, scallops, fish tacos, or a chèvre salad with lemon dressing.
