With each sip as good or better than the previous, you could stock-up on this delicious offering as the price-quality balance tips wildly in your favour. Floral notes and tropical fruit aromas provide segue for a delectable, lively rush of honeyed pit fruit, grilled pineapple and soft citrus flavours bathing the palate with charm, balance and pizzazz. This pours very well on its own and also with ham, soft creamy cheese, white pizza or lighter-styled seafood appetizers. (Vic Harradine)
