Sheep’s tail. It doesn’t exactly make you think about wine, or vineyards or fine dining. But take a sip of this delightfully crisp, complex and gastronomic white wine and, we assure you, your mind’s little tail will be blown. It’s a “Fellas Fave” for a reason
What The Sommelier Says
Delicate, crystal-green in colour, with an elegant, balsamicy nose with hints of wild berries and tobacco. Excellent body and structure on the palate, with a distinct minerality and bright acidity for a well-rounded but light finish
Pairs well with…
…a delicate white fish, grilled shrimp or lobster tail, a spicy ceviche, chicken picatta or tender pork loin.
