A perfect wine for lunch or a late afternoon gossip.
Plucked from the Yarra Valley in Victoria, its cool climate grapes were pressed to hold its young pale yellow colour and clarity.

On the nose: Honey melon and subtle fresh cut flowers
Colour: pale yellow, almost translucent with a hint of green. A colour that screems its youth.
Palate: ok. The nose is more memorable than the taste because it's such a subtle wine. I enjoy the mild oak due that is possibly due to its 'partial barrel fermentation' process. It's floral on the palate as well as the nose - as floral as dragon fruit.
What did I drink it with?
I found this went well with Japanese inspired Asian dishes. We had fried salmon cutlets (medium done) with a simple sweet black soy dressing. I found it also went well with the Asian water spinach stirred with garlic, shiitake mushrooms and miso paste.
Would I buy and drink this again?
Definitely. It's a nice wine to have with a couple of friends who appreciate the intricacy and delicacies of life.
