Our wine buyer has pulled something out of a hat with this one! We have always said that when you look beyond your standard Chardonnay, Shiraz, or Riesling you can find some REAL value. 

This Grand Manseng is a brilliant alternative. With a lively golden-green hue, it kicks off with fresh aromas of honeysuckle, crisp pear, and a zesty hit of citrus that’s downright inviting.

When you first crack it open, this wine bursts with a bright, refreshing character that's perfect for a relaxed arvo with mates however with age, its bright fruit flavours mellow into richer, rounder notes, with hints of stewed apple and a gentle spice that add depth and a smooth, long finish. One top review sums it up well:

“A ripping drink here. Scents of frangipani, nashi pear and lime while the palate is a bit richer than that with ripe, green pear notes, some preserved lemon and a cool, almost briny mineral character refreshing each sip. It’s charismatic, summery and vibrant, marching to its own beat and generally delightful.”

Our suggestion is definitely give it a few years to build some complexity and then get stuck into some light cheeses or shellfish... its probably the pick of the bunch for elevating a special date day picnic!
