Wine Shop Review: Predominately fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, with a small portion barrel fermented in older French oak, the wine is blended, bottled, and released three to four months after fermentation. The nose shows fragrant gooseberry characters with underlying passionfruit and lychee aromas. Minerally, stalky notes are evident and provide additional complexity. The palate is a fine and elegant style with zesty lemon acidity and length. Varietal characters of passionfruit pulp and gooseberry dominate with hints of lemon peel in the background.
My Review: The taste of this wine was way too potent for me. The flavors were very strong and bitter. From the review I thought it'd taste fruity, but I hardly tasted any fruit. To me the smell and taste were both smoky and oak like.
I did not taste this wine with food.
