Good wine; lots of flavour, presence and varietal character; honeysuckle and stone fruit have good acidity, and should underwrite development for those looking for honeyed notes.

Subdued bouquet; hints
of lemon and honey
with a mineral-like
thread. Minerally and
steely on the palate.
Great flavour profile
of melons, stone fruits
and citrus. Good acid
support. 4.5 Stars

This is fully mature and drinking well now. It’s all honeysuckle and pear with delicious slips of custard apples and vanilla. It’s a pretty wine though it has substance. Lactose/honeysuckle/condensed milk notes are defining features here.

Complex, stylish and flavoursome with an exceptionally silky texture, loads of toasty honeyed honeysuckle elements and a citrussy hit.
