This clear straw-green wine displays a vibrant nose of gooseberry, grass and fresh citrus fruit showcasing a focus on viticultural practices that bring to the fore these distinctive characteristics. It’s light-medium bodied and crisp on the palate with mouthwatering citrus and currant flavours. There’s a lingering, elusive hint of pithiness on the delightful finish. Enjoy it with your choice of white fish or seafood. This is a Vintages Essentials product always available in select stores. (Susan Desjardins)
