Alluringly fragrant with sweet pear, honeydew melon and strawberry fruit flavours, bundled up in bright natural acidity. Hints of rose petal and guava dance around the edges. It’s rich, smooth and elegant, testament to the winemaking prowess of Don Lewis and Narelle King. Enjoy it alongside calamari salad with sliced pears, walnuts, red capsicum and rocket.

VinificationThe grapes were machine harvested, crushed and pressed through an air bag press in the protective presence of SO2. Cold tank fermentation was undertaken at between 10 to 12 degrees celcius. The pressings and free run were fermented separately before being blended back with the free run for fining and cold stabilisation prior to bottling.

This tastes like pear-?avoured boiled lollies, only more refreshing and well suited to spicy foods.
