Asparagus risotto wine match
For the Risotto featured in the Syrup spring 07 issue:
Clearview Estate Reserve Sav Blanc
9% Semillon was added to this wine to produce a fuller bodied wine with extra complexity. Semillon helps the ageing of the wine, fattening out the palate. The wine exhibits ripe tropical flavours of passionfruit and pineapple with the spine of crisp apples. Over time the sauvignon characters disappear and the wine becomes very oily and viscous. $26.50
