Assertive and well struck citrus fruits on the nose. Moves into melon and pear fruit flavors on the palate. Fleshy and open-knit with a pithy finish. Drink now.

The Shout New Zealand, November 2017
Ripe core of baked stone fruits and grapefruit aromas; soft floral and vanilla wood scents, some baked goods with a crème-patisserie suggestion; dry stone and sandy soil layer. Bold and expressive textures with spice, acidity and wood tones all strong; dry on the finish with echoes of all the flavours describes. Youthful and still finding its balance. Well-made and certainly worth another look. Best drinking from late 2018 through 2026.
