"Ripe, soft pinot gris with white peach, ripe pear and subtle lime citrus flavours. A delicately succulent wine, with an initial hint of sweetness leading to a crisp and satisfying dry finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jun 2020

"Classic bouquet of Pinot Gris….. the difference with this wine is the purity of fruit and layer of minerality not often encountered with the wine and style….A balanced and well made wine ready to enjoy" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2020

The palate has a cleansing lime blossom start but a nostalgic baked apricot lingers on with a flowing satin-like texture and an extremely long finish. The wine sparkles, it's cohesive and gently persuasive, luring the drinker in with second glass appeal. The nose is reminiscent of opening the spice cupboard - warm Moroccan spices, cardamom in particular. This classic Pinot Gris surges across the palate in a refreshing wave commanding your attention.

This will be remembered as an extreme season, not only in terms of temperature and rainfall (lack of) but with events such as forest fires and water shortages. Strangely, fruit composition was excellent, not over ripe as one might expect, and as result we see wines that have a density but also a refinement.

Food Pairig: Delicious as an aperitive has the perfect amount of body, spice and a hit of sweetness to match a gentle fish curry or anything where coriander, lime and chilli are heroed.
