The Vintage Cellar says: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing  while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.

My thoughts: This wine had a soapy smell with a hint of lemon. It tasted slightly sour, like lemon zest. It is very crisp and dry. It even had a hint of a floral taste. I really enjoyed this wine. I would definitely consider buying it in the future. I did not have this with food.
