Winemakers Pitch

This is a classically-styled wine, which does not undergo malo-lactic fermentation, which preserves the natural acidity. Intense ripe peach and honeysuckle aromas. This medium-bodied wine has plenty of citrus and tropical fruit flavours. It is richly textured, with excellent length. It is perfect with seafood, roasted chicken and creamy cheeses.
