Review: This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels, and creamy scallops.
My Review: I was able to detect the earthy aromas in this wine. I also got hints of cinnamon and nuts. It was a very delightful and crisp wine. Unfortunately I don't like seafood so I won't be doing any of the food pairings listed.
