As you open the wine and pour a little into your glass you get fresh green fruits and pear notes on the nose. The wine is a very pale colour which has a hint of green in it. As you taste it, pear and tangy citrus flavours come through on the palate yet this wine has some body and a creamy feel on the tongue making for a refreshing mouthful with some acidity and good length. We drank the wine on its own and it is a good wine to drink at any social occasion. The label suggests that it would pair well with more delicate fish and poultry dishes as well as a spicy Thai curry and from our tasting I can see that it would. It is sufficiently robust, but its clean fresh flavour would work very well with white meats and fish and would be a great refreshing mouthful after something more challenging.
