WHITES

1. Vouvray: Les Lys Vouvray 2015

Made from 100% Chenin Blanc this is an off-dry white with notes of delicate perfume, stone fruit and tropical fruit, a hint of almond, and a pleasant dose of honey.

2. Riesling: Boundary Breaks Ovid Line North 2014

3. Pinot Gris: Willm Pinot Gris Reserve 2014
