Critics Ratings
‘Melon, citrus fruit and fine cedar oak aromas confidently lead to a palate with notes of almond paste and citrus pith; finished off with a lingering honey/melon perfume. Dollop of Sauvignon adds to the freshness. Great texture, but needs time to meld.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2014, 4.5*
‘Gorgeously pure, offering tangerine, white peach and clementine notes laced with chamomile, orange blossom and honeysuckle flavors. The long, mineral-driven finish has terrific cut and ample citrus oil and singed almond flavors in reserve. Cellar for maximum effect. Best from 2016 through 2022.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Feb 2015)
