This 2009 Moonlight White wine shows the wine-making team at Colio Estate Wines‘ ability to create blends that are varietally sound and versatile.
The colour is a pale straw and it produces an aroma with hints of gooseberry, mango and melon which lead into its taste of citrus and melon with a soft, clean finish.
The Moonlight White matches great with grilled lemon-pepper catfish, spicy barbecued chicken, sushi and Pad Thai.
