• Shop Review:This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms.  The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind.  The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more.  This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.
• My Review: The nose on this wine had a very strong apple to the nose.  It smelled sweet and light, I couldn't wait to taste it.  Judging by the lengty review that the store gave it, which I will not be able to match, this wine was going to be good.  I took one little sip and my taste buds exploded with sweet sweet luscious delicacy.  Very peachy in flavor and all around good.  A delicious wine that I wished I had more of.  Unfortunately I did not buy this wine simply because I wanted a different wine, by my roommate bought a bottle, so I will be sharing it with him, whether he likes it or not.
