I had the good fortune to taste this wine at a wine tasting with my sister-in-law outside Atlanta, and was very impressed. I recently opened the bottle I brought home and found it even better than I remembered, perhaps because, as the website points out, the buttered toast flavor continues to develop for up to two years. From the winemaker: "This wine displays a distinctive elegance and clarity of fruit. The colour is a vibrant straw with green tinges, while the bouquet is of citrus blossom and melon over a hint of freshly kneaded dough. The palate again shows a citrus and melon fruit flavours with a rich and creamy texture. The wine finishes crisp and clean zesty acidity." A very interesting description of the vinification can be found at http://www.salenaestate.com.au/tastingnotes/sechar.pdf

How funny -- I just opened my bottle of this wine last week! I enjoyed mine too. It paired nicely with some lump crab cakes.
