Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"The grapes for this wine were grown in the Wairau Valley region of Marlborough. This wine is made from grape parcels where 80% was fermented in new and seasoned French barriques and 20% was fermented in stainless steel.
Stone fruits, citrus and melon notes are complimented by spice and toast from a touch of oak. An approachable wine with inviting bright fruit flavours and great texture and roundness. The oak influence delivers complexity and length of flavour while the balanced acid provides a fresh finish."
90/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2021 (2020 Vintage)
"Attractively fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows golden peach, rockmelon, vanilla and roasted cashew characters. It's equally appealing on the palate delivering succulent fruit intensity combined with silky mouthfeel and juicy acidity, making it delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2024."
