Enjoy now or cellar for 2 to 6 years.

RATINGS & REVIEWS

89 points, Aaron Brasher, The Real Review - 'Aromas of yoghurt, nougat, peach, jasmine and spice. Stone fruit and citrus flavours on entry, then some nutty oak and lively acidity combine with the creamy mouth-feel to deliver length and presence'.

91 Points, Philip Rich - Halliday Wine Companion - "A very bright green gold. A fruit-driven bouquet of nectarine, peach skin and just a little apple blossom. The palate is nicely balance, with a fine bead of acidity rounding out a wine that will still be looking good two to three years from now".
