Critic Reviews
"Comes out punching with apple and lemon flavours, a waft of blossom and a daikon radish savouriness. It's racy with bright acidity in the mix and finishes with terrific length." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

Always a crowd pleaser, this wine has such an elegance to it that can be dressed up for a fancier meal, or simply taken to a Thai BYO.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you.
