Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"An evolving wine, with baking spices, toasted almonds, warm butter and fresh pear aromatics. The palate is full with a moreish creaminess, finely balanced texture and a long-lasting, impressive finish.
Fruit was harvested in the dawn light, then lightly crushed and pressed. The juice was taken to tank where only a small amount of sulphur was added to protect the oxygen-rich juice. A day later the juice was racked to a large format oak cuve and several barriques, before a warmer fermentation. The wines were then left on their lees for 10 months prior to blending."
Rated Excellent, 5 Stars & 93/100 Wine Rater, August 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Modern, delicate, distinctly new world style on the nose with lifted fruit and an array of aromas including candied pear, confectionery, white flowers, blanched almond and toasty vanilla oak. Delicious, clean, dry, fruit-focused and zingy fresh with good length and a zesty, crunchy apple finish."
4 Stars Michael Cooper, October 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"The elegant, full-bodied 2021 vintage was fermented and lees-aged for 10 months in barriques and a large oak cuve. Bright, light lemon/green, it is a fragrant, fruit-driven wine, with fresh, peachy, citrusy flavours to the fore, gentle biscuity notes adding complexity, finely balanced acidity and good harmony. Best drinking mid-2023+."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, January 2021 (2020 Vintage)
"Gorgeously composed and elegantly complex, showing apricot, fig, nougat and roasted cashew characters on the nose with a hint of brioche. The palate displays excellent concentration and flow, well supported by bright acidity, making it wonderfully structured and lingering. At its best: now to 2026."
