At only 8% alcohol it’s packed with flavour. The bouquet is all honeyed grapefruit. On the palate, it’s elegant, light-bodied with beautifully balanced lime and honey flavours. Great tension between sweetness and citrus acidity with a long finish. It costs $25.95 at Vintages and is worth every penny.
