"Gorgeously styled and complex, the inviting bouquet shows apricot, green rockmelon, oatmeal, nougat and lemon peel aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate offering finely textured mouthfeel backed by bright acidity. Beautifully composed and flowing to a persistent refined finish. Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, wild fermented and matured in old French oak barrels" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Aromatic, pungent and enticing bouquet, classic aromas of fresh herbs and tropical fruits laced with citrus and jalapeno. On the palate and equally pungent wine with flavours that reflect the bouquet - lemon and grapefruit, apple and fresh herbs. There’s a crisp acid line and vibrant mouthfeel. A balanced and well made wine with a satisfying salivating finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023

A beautiful balance of pink grapefruit, tropical papaya, and pineapple with fresh cut grass, nettle, and wet stone aromas. A vibrant structure of acidity interlaced with enticing citrus notes and lees influenced cashew-spiced characters.

Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed from our Avenue Block, predominately Clone 316.  After settling the juice overnight, we racked to a large oak cuvee where an indigenous fermentation occurred.  The wine was aged on lees in large format seasoned French oak for texture and complexity. Racked after 10 months and lightly filtered before bottling.
