Drinking Window: 2017 - 2024
MB: Beautifully poised and extravagant, with Sauvignon personality; grass, gooseberry and elderflower, crunchy acid and good length. Yum!
BC: A weighty wine with quite intense red capsicum, gooseberry and nectarine flavours. It’s also showing impressive purity and length.
CD: Classic mix of fresh and dried herbs fine citrus and tropical passionfruit and peach hints. Balanced and fresh, lively and lengthy, a nice wine overall.
