Arctic Fox Grand Cuvée is a fusion of 23% Verdelho and 22% Sauvignon Blanc grapes with 55% Vermentino grapes. The resulting blend features a pale straw colour, with a fine bead stemming from the glass. The lively bouquet emanates mesmerising scents of citrus blossom, lemon sorbet and fresh leaf, with suggestions of mandarin and nectarine floating in the backdrop. The soft and fruity palate flaunts rich flavours of grapefruit, lime, lemon and white nectarine on the front, making way for green apple, honeydew and lemon sorbet characters. These vibrant elements combine with a firm acid layer to offer a generous mouthfeel, culminating in a crisp, long and refreshing finale. Made for consumption within a cellaring period of 3 years, this enticing white blend tastes amazing with Tommy Ruff fillets in vine leaves with fennel orange salad.
