Description / Reviews
"A late and cool growing season gave us smaller, more flavourful bunches and lifted aromatics. There is a richness and density of fruit on the mid-palate that reflects another year of our farming the vineyard, and lower yields. We are starting to uncover the full potential of these old vines. A mix of crushed and whole bunch pressed fruit was fermented in both concrete and large format old oak bring texture to the wine. The textured palate is balanced with a mineral, saline edge and long, pithy finish." - MMAD Vineyard, Winemaker
"Light yellow colour with aromas of cashewnut, smoky barrel ferment, creamy yeast lees, fresh pastry, not especially chenin-like but attractive. In the mouth it's full bodied and rounded, with soft texture into a dry finish, with weight and presence. It's good now but would surely develop more character with a litte more time in bottle. There is richness and depth of flavour: I'd love to see it again in a couple of years." - 93 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
