Winery review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of
thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.
My review: The aromas on the Smoking Loon were very toasty with hints of apple. Tasting it, I was almost overwhelmed by a level of acidity that I was not expecting. The predominant flavors were oranges and, surprisingly enough, carrots.
Food: None
