Critics Ratings
'The nose is charming with plenty of ripe mango and passion fruit scents that remain tightly controlled and defined. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity and a deft, quite tense finish. Excellent.' – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Oct 2014)
'Tight and linear on the nose. Lime and passion fruit with a bit of chew.' – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16++/20 (Sep 2022)
