Pale straw with a glint of green, this Hunter Valley classic opens with fresh aromas of lime, gooseberry, and cut grass, rounded by a hint of passionfruit and white florals. The palate is crisp, zesty, and effortlessly balanced with citrus and tropical fruit weaving together over a subtle mineral edge. Bright acidity keeps it lively right through to the clean, refreshing finish.

For when: the afternoon’s too good to waste indoors.
Pairs with: oysters, fish tacos, or a bowl of salty crisps in the sunshine.
If this wine were a person, it’d be the mate who brings the music and never misses the catch.
