Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Inviting aromas of rose petal and juicy pear are supported by lashings of ripe stone fruit, baked quince and a hint of spice. The palate is elegant and creamy, with concentrated flavours of pear and ginger, tropical and stone fruit, and a delicious textural creaminess from the wild fermentation. It is a charming drop, concluding in a juicy, fresh tasting finish."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, January 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Gorgeously ripe and elegantly fragrant on the nose, showing Nashi Pear, rockmelon, Gala apple, and white floral aromas, followed by a beautifully weighted palate offering succulent fruit intensity with spicy nuances. It's splendidly textured and harmonious with bright acidity, finishing delectable and persistent. At its best: now to 2030."

Top Value & 94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, October 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Delicately fruity aroma with ripe pear, quince and honeysuckle flavours supported by refreshing acidity. Smooth-textured wine in an off-dry style with bright fruit flavours. This is what pinot gris should taste like, but seldom does."
