She has also worked vintages at boutique wineries in Chianti Classico in Tuscany and Santa Ynez Valley in California.

Classic and vibrant, very fresh with a rush of fresh herb aromas then tropical fruits suggesting mango, lychee, and pineapple. Citrus and apple then smooth mineral notes of wet stone. On the palate – crisp and crunchy texture, flavours of citrus then tropical.
