Erika scored this wine: 90/100

This was the first wine I ever loved. So much that it brought me to work at Sandbanks Estate Winery for a summer where my passion for wine began, so I owe a lot to it! Very smooth, very floral and fun! I often drink it on its own, but I have enjoyed it with mango salad and other light thai dishes.
