Description
"Whole bunch pressed to tank, settled for 24 hours then racked to barrel for ferment, 40% new French Oak (Sirugue) for 11 months, 50% malolaction fermentation. The nose is dominated by lime curd, crunchy stone fruits, cumquat, fennel fronds, lemon grass with hints of, cumin, coriander and roasted almond. The palate is an explosion of pink lady apple, nectarine, white peach, rounded out with notes of honey, freshly torched creme brulee finishing with kaffir lime, candied citrus peel, toasted almond driven by steely acidity." - Winemaker Notes
"Pink grapefruit, lemon oil, aniseed, cashew and cedar, a chamomile perfume and white peach. It’s gently chalky in texture, a little nutty and umami, biscuit spice oak, balanced acidity, with some grilled nuts and a saline finish of excellent length. Lovely wine. Fine and distinctive. Yum. Touch and go for 96 points really." - 95 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
