Music Match :: This little beauty tastes like a delicious Apricot Nectar, Vodka & Viognier Cocktail... It’s not a majorly serious wine but It’s make everything in your life seem a little bit better. ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin from the Cocktail soundtrack is a great match.

Summary :: Tis is a hedonistic little white. Beautiful straw/barley yellow colour with great clarity. Very intriguing nose. Grab some oatmeal or muesli with dried apricot pieces. Hold the milk. Pour on a little vodka before adding a shredded lemon leaf, the zest of an orange and a grapefruit and a dollop of orange marmalade. Tastes bad, smells wonderful. On the palate the high alcohol (14.5%) is a wonderful textural element. The wine coats the mouth but never becomes cloying or excessively thick thanks to a spicy, pickled ginger like lift that cleanses the palate. But not before your taste buds are tantalised by flavours of apricot & ginger juice, grapefruit, toast and a hint of leesy lemon seed. More please!
