The palate leads with a fragrant, fresh-cut-lime acidity, which dances over notes of wildflower honey, elderflower, apricot and dried mango. There is not inconsiderable sweetness here, but the freshening acidity brings balance, creating a pleasing and moreish impression in the glass. Food match This wine makes the perfect apéritif but is also surprisingly versatile. Consider serving alongside a cheese platter, with chicken liver parfait, or with south-east Asian cuisine, especially anything seafood-based, with coconut and a bit of chilli heat. Our recommendation, coconut-crusted sugar-cane prawns with nuoc cham.
