"It is generously expressed on the nose showing ripe nectarine, mango, nougat, vanilla and toasted almond characters. The palate is equally attractive offering bright fruit intensity and creamy texture, beautifully supported by refreshing acidity. The wine delivers plenty of tasty flavours and finishes long and silky. At its best: now to 2019." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2017.

Golden and brilliant in the glass this wine is full bodied and softly textural with good weight from ripe fruit balanced by judicious use of toasty oak. Dry and finishing long with a hint of toasty oak this well balanced and attractive wine combines the best of ripe Marlborough fruit with complexity and weight from the barrel.
