Layered palate of ripe gooseberry, green apple, and passionfruit is protected by a zesty citrus finish. The wine's elegance is marked by its subtle texture and crispness, expressing the terroir within every sip. Not forgetting its alluring nose of white flowers, honeysuckle, and lime zest that adds to its charm. This wine is a splendid representative of Bouchard Finlayson’s approach to producing superior, well-rounded and complex wines.
