| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Medium-bodied dry white wine; medium pale lemon yellow. Aromas are classic NZ: gooseberry; lime zest; flavors hit heavily on tropical fruits (again gooseberry, some passion fruit). Finish is long and fruit-dominated, and good acidity makes for a mouthwatering experience. Silky, round texture likely due to a bit of residual sugar (maybe .2). Slowly, a fine richness emerges. Clearly Kiwi, but not overblown. Stainless steel fermentation at moderate temperatures; then on lees for 3-4 months. In screw cap. Don't overchill, about 55-60 degrees, in tall tulip-shaped glasses.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Chicken salad with mango; seafood cooked in parchment with mild Asian seasonings (mirin, sesame oil, Ponzu sauce) and julienned vegetables; butternut squash salad with red onion; chicken with lemon and olives; crab cakes; Vietnamese-style spring rolls; seafood or chicken with lemongrass. Hold the heat on Asian dishes; not enough residual sugar for that. Skip oysters.
