- TASTING NOTE: This wine has a beautiful light straw colour. Aromas of ripe peach, grapefruit marmalade, blossoms and complex yeasty flavours compliment the light toasty (1/3 new) oak in the wine. The palate is crisp, clean with a lovely texture and long finish. Drinking well now, and will develop more complexity over the next 3 years. 94 Points - Tim Atkin MW
- ABOUT THE WINE: De-stalked, crushed, pressed & settled in stainless steel tanks before the clear juice was fermented in 228 L French oak barrels. Small portion whole bunch pressed. 10 months in French oak barrels, 35% new, and the balance in 3rd/4th fill.
