Floral loveliness in a glass! Aromas of lychee, rose petal and white daisies after spring rain. Medium-bodied and refreshing. Finishes with a lovely note of fresh peach. This is a white wine blend of Moscato, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. Pair with mild curries and spices.

White food pairings: Cheeses, Sushi, Thai, Salads.

Reviews and Ratings

Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

I was curious to taste this blockbuster. Not a product that I would normally buy because this producer makes wine for the common denominator and I tend to prefer more subtle wine.
Exuberant nose of litche, apple sauce and overrippe melon?
The wine is clean and spotless. It offers some lenght, fruit and roundness. I suspect residual sugar, but it is what it is. A wine made to be liked.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
