Dégustation
The 2019 Bonnet is a clear, brilliant pale yellow colour, with scattered green highlights.
The wonderfully intense nose reveals delicate aromas of white fruit (pear), mixed with notes of citrus fruit.
Starts out beautifully straightforward on the palate. Round and full-bodied best describe the mid-palate. The finish is incredibly fresh, contributing a lovely long aftertaste. This wine is beautifully well-balanced. The palate expresses the same white fruit aromas found on the nose.
