Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"It has a pale lemon sheen, with profound citrus, floral and tropical notes. Suggestions of mandarin zest and ruby grapefruit flirt temptingly with snippets of frangipani, orange blossom, pineapple, and mango. A lick of flinty minerality completes the allure. The palate is vibrant and energised, with layered citrus, racy acidity, and a hint of spritzig giving a zesty, lemon sherbet mouthfeel. Elegant and stylish with unobtrusive sweetness, the wine tapers into a steely, honeyed finish that leaves a lasting impression."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Gorgeously fruited and instantly appealing, the wine shows golden apple, marmalade, warm spice, grapefruit, and flinty notes. It's followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate filled with succulent fruit intensity. Attractive sweetness and beautifully infused acidity complement it, making it highly enjoyable. Style: Medium. At its best: now to 2035."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2024 (2023 Vintage)​
"The bouquet is quite closed, yet still variety with a lifted bouquet of white flowers, blossoms, and scents of citrus, and orange blossom. A just off-dry wine touches the palate with a backbone of acidity and core flavours that mirror the bouquet, the volume is tuned up, flavors of citrus and apple, lees and a natural white spice quality before the floral scents and orange peel qualities return. Lengthy, elegant and ready, a wine that will also age well. best drinking from day or purchase through 2035."
