Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Wonderfully aromatic and scented with tangerine peel, spiced pear, tropical fruit notes, honey suckle and jasmine florals. The palate is finely textured with broad, juicy concentrated flavours of sweet lemon, candied ginger and a delicious, spiced richness that carries right through to the finish."
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"A gorgeous rendition, the perfumed bouquet shows mango, lychee, rockmelon, Turkish Delight, and warm spice aromas. The palate displays excellent concentration, a plush texture, and finely infused acidity, making it superbly harmonious and opulent with a sustained, complex finish. At its best: now to 2032."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, February 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"Fabulous bouquet and palate with aromas and flavours of spiced tree and stone fruits, there’s a light seam of citrus peel, fragrant herbs and a mineral leesy complexity. Some tautness as the wine touches the palate with a youthful palate squeeze, satin touch and flavour intensity. Delicious, ripe, fresh and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2031."
