Shop/ wine critic/ winery review: Vintage Wine Cellar/ Amanda/ This aroma wine shows lifted flavours of black currant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.
Your Review: This white wine has a very distinguishable and powerful pear smell that instantly came to mind when I smelled this wine. The taste had a different agenda not tasting like it smelled at all. I was expecting a more fruity, powerful wine, but instead got a somewhat bland wine. The first taste I had of the wine it was very spicy and tart almost a cringing feeling to it. To my surprise the second sip I had was uneventful and very dry than the first time I had it. I'm not sure if my palate adjusted to the wine or what, but the wine went from having something special to nothing in a short time. I do not recommend this wine.
