  Star bright with pale yellow colouring (tinged with green) at a medium minus optical density and showing very high, brilliant, specular reflectivity. Strong aromas of tropical fruits (lemon-lime, banana, and mango) with some underlying delicate florals and stone minerals. Not super deep on the nose, but appealing. The palate is medium bodied and medium in acidity, showing a sweet profile that is mouth-coating. Flavours of sticky honey and ripe melon hit that attack, with some sweet pineapple and tangerine adding on. Thick and chewy with fruit, this wine finishes with clean with some floral notes as the honey-dipped fruits fade.
  
  This is a nice sweeter wine that drinks well and shows quite a bit of packed fruit. Balanced well enough to remain fresh, but with plenty of ripe fruit. A dense and concentrated drink that is best in smaller doses alongside some light but savoury foods. Good value.
