Description
- French oak
- Ripe stonefruit
- Vanilla bean
- Juicy & fresh
"Enticing aromas of white and yellow fleshed orchard fruits, lemon and apple, some quince then peach. Scents of vanilla wood spice and a lemon custard note. Lush and fresh with fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet, a satin cream texture touches the palate first then flavours of lemon along with a youthful acid line deliver contrast before the peach and apple flavours re-emerge. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2022 through 2026+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
"An elegant rendition, the bouquet shows ripe peach, cashew, lemon peel and subtle vanilla characters, leading to a smooth and creamy palate that's ripe and rounded. Friendly and easy to enjoy. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2022
Ripe stone fruit and peach with lifted citrus. A juicy and fresh palate with flavours of white peach and grapefruit with touch of nutty spice and vanilla bean. Drinking well now, and will continue to develop over the next few years.
The fruit for this wine was selected from vineyards across the Marlborough region. Several clones were selected, mostly clone 6. Machine harvested, pressed, lightly settled, then racked and inoculated with a selected yeast strain and fermented in stainless steel and seasoned oak. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 10 months in French oak and lightly fined.

Ripe and sharp rather than lush and creamy. Didn't get any oak taste
