Judges Comments:

From spectacular Central Otago, even the name creates the image of steep mountains, cascading waterfalls and holiday happy hour. With all the wonderful foods to explore from Central Otago, this is the perfect accompaniment. Flavours that remind you of a juicy ripe peach served with honeydew melon. Juicy acidity with a rich line of spice running through the palate, creating a beguiling smoky texture and a persistent finish.

Pairing Recommendation:

Perfect for light meals, picnics, chips and dips and pasta dishes and a pizza to share. Great with Asian inspired dishes, dumpling, noodles, antipasti. Especially good with blue cheese and soft white cheese, Mexican dishes, pork and coconut-based curry dishes.
