Still good colour. Very pale. Intriguing nose- very complex. Hints of gun flint and citrus intermingle with more classic varietal gooseberry that emerges with air. Becomes much more expressive with air and a bit warmer than fridge cold. Broad but defined palate that brings a wash of very clean tropical fruit. Lovely lunch time drop on a Constantia deck.

Pale hay in color, this wine reveals white peach, cut grass and gooseberry on the nose. The mouth feel is light bodied with more citrus fruit as well as cut asparagus undertones. The finish brings biting acidity that slightly overwhelm the fruit.
Retailing for $30US, this was tasted at the Wine Spectator Grand Tour in Miami on 5/12/12017.
