"It's fabulously fruited and inviting on the nose showing ripe peach, mango, vanilla and roasted hazelnut characters with a hint of brioche complexity. The palate is beautifully weighted and rounded, displaying bright fruit flavours together with elegant oak nuances, finishing long and creamy. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2020
Rich gold with soft yellow hues. White peach, grapefruit & nectarine characters with subtle notes of vanilla & roasted cashew. Luscious and full-bodied creamy style with delicious flavours of brioche and white peach with a toasty oak complexity. A lingering delectable finish.
The grapes for this wine were grown in vineyards the Bridge Pa and Gimblett Gravels sub-regions in the Hawke’s Bay region of New Zealand, where the soils are ancient river beds. A warm and dry summer after a wet spring allowed fruit to be left on the vines so flavours could fully develop. Fermentation was undertaken with a combination of natural and inoculated yeasts in French oak barrels. All of the wine went through malolactic fermentation and was aged in barrels for 6 months.
Food Pairing: Superb on its own or lightly chilled with a full-flavoured creamy lemon chicken dish.
