Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Ripe citrus and stonefruits, lightly toasted almonds, vanilla bean and orange blossom aromas. Roast peach and rockmelon, balance with supple textural creaminess on the palate, before revealing an elegant, restrained acidity and an underlying riverstone minerality.
Three unique vineyard parcels picked and gently pressed to 500L French oak puncheons. Fermented cool with selected aromatic yeast strains to retain varietal intensity and character. Extended yeast lees stirring in oak for 11 months to add palate weight and complexity. Springtime malolactic fermentation was undertaken prior to blending."
92+/100 Cameron Douglas MS, February 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A classic bouquet and palate with a creamy stone fruits and barrel spice profile. Flavours of white and yellow peach, vanilla pod, apple and cashew-nut-butter with a fine lees complexity. A wine that is complex and ready to drink with persistent flavours and textures held in place with a decent acid line and finish. Best drinking from mid to late 2024 through 2028+."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2024 (2023 Vintage)
Youthfully charming and elegantly complex, the wine shows ripe peach, pineapple, nougat and hazelnut aromas on the nose, leading to a beautifully rounded palate displaying succulent fruit flavours with creamy texture and well-integrated acidity, making it immediately enjoyable. At its best: now to 2027."
