HIDE TASTING NOTE

Golden-green tinges sparkle in the attractive fresh colour.

Appealing aromas of citrus, grapefruit and green apple immediately provide a feeling of contentment yet excitement for this wine. Delving deeper, one finds layers of peach stone characters and tropical mixed fruits.

This flows through to the palate which shows a generous lift of white peach and grapefruit, entwined with subtle cashew flavours. Milky soft in texture, the wine is elegant with a very long and lingering finish, highlighted by a crisp acid backbone.
