  Medium yellow. Very lively, fresh and fruity. Nose is threaded with peach, pineapple, lemon zest, and something like greengages. Mouth is fat with florals, mint, and fruit, with yellow plum,white peach, dried pineapple, and a dash of ouzo. Persistent finish, great with food, has some quinine but this is balanced by uplifting acidity. Stood up to Goan sautéed fish and basmati rice with coriander chutney. Unspecified blend of Roussanne/Viognier/Clairette. 4+12+16+7
