"Beautifully ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows ripe apricot, rockmelon, vanilla bean and roasted hazelnut characters, leading to a succulent palate that’s weighty and creamy. It’s flavoursome and generous with refreshing acidity, making it delightfully drinkable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2019

Intense, bright yellow in colour. An elegant wine, with an intense and complex combination of mineral aromas; as well as those of fruits such as mandarin, peach, apricot, apple and floral notes, plus gentle hints of hazelnuts stemming from barrel aging. On the palate, the wine has excellent ample body, abundant fruit and freshness. It is creamy, buttery and balanced, with very good vibrant acidity, with the fruit coming through once again. High lighting once again fruity notes and hints of vanilla. The finish is intense, complex, and persistent.
