Description
"A glorious expression; the complex bouquet shows yellow stone fruit, mango, cedar, fragrant spice and brioche characters. The palate is concentrated and succulent, and displays excellent fruit power and depth, wonderfully complemented by velvety mouthfeel and spicy complexity. The wine is opulent and graceful at the same time. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2018
The palate is not for the faint-hearted; concentrated and elegant at the same time, offering massive flavour brilliantly enhanced by silky texture and deep buttery undertones. A fine wine that will leave a lasting impression.
The 2016 Marlborough vintage delivered some good solid weather during the ripening period where warm sunny days were followed by cool nights. The vintage resulted in ripe Chardonnay bunches with nice berries and good skin to juice ratio, resulting in great colour and flavour for the wine. The unique combination of climate, soils and terrain is what makes the region stand out on the world stage and it is best highlighted with the Fifth Innings.
Aged in new French barrique the wine is instantly appealing with impressive complex notes on the nose showing ripe nectarine, mango, vanilla and toasted almond characters. This was a special release with only 600 bottles produced.
