Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Medium dark red with purple tint. Open lifted floral nose with mix of violets, plum and charry mineral complexity. The palate is tight with fine youthful tannins. Gentle and polished, it opens up beautifully on the palate, with a deliciously lustrous finish."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, January 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Wonderfully ripe and inviting, the wine shows dark cherry, Black Doris plum, violet, olive and warm spice aromas on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate delivering richly textured mouthfeel backed by fine polished tannins. Generous yet poised and elegant with an impressively long silky finish. At its best: now to 2028."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2024 (2020 Vintage)
"From a tiny 3.5 Ha vineyard, aged 10 moths in French barrels, this wine is delicious with a palate of plum and red berries, a savoury dried herb quality, the frame is taut and youthful with ripe course-silk tannins and backbone of acidity, tempered by a core of red berry fruit flavours and a Wairarapa earthy finish."
