This is awesome, by far the most memorable of the wines tasted today. Tons on tropical fruit, guava, mango. Wonderful weight, viscosity, and richness that has a shimmering acidity playing background. Lingering smooth finish. Highly recommended.

Loved this, it reminded me of a really good Riesling, lots of tropical fruit and lychee flavours. Nice weight too.
