81/100 35

Light, fresh and fruity wine with delicate herb and lemon grass flavours. Good acidity gives a drying finish. Pretty wine that will no doubt gain flesh and flavour as it settles down in the bottle over the next few months.

Tasted: Aug 2008   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $18 (~USD $15)
