An incredibly fragrant nose full of sweet apricot and gingery spice. The palate is luscious and generous, but has great acid which tightens the wine, adding freshness and a clean crisp finish. Slight pithy feel which builds on the spice notes. Lovely as a fresh stand alone drink that still exhibits some mouth-feel, or equally well adapted to enjoying with a range of foods from freshly shucked oysters through to spicy Thai style dishes.
