Vintage Cellar 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:  This wine has a strong green apple smell.  It is almost a sour green apple smell.  This wine has a very strong lemon taste.  It also has a very smooth finish.  I feel like this wine does not have to be paired with food but I could see it tasting delicious with a nice salad or seafood.  I was not eating any food while at the wine tasting.
