Wine Reviewer Comments
Lightly golden with a perfumed nose of floral lime, sweet lemon, grilled white stone fruit, melon, raw pistachio and a gentle savouriness. In the mouth it’s creamy and sweet with flavours of custard apple, white peach, pear, lemon curd, pie crust and vanilla oak. The fruit is carried by a hum of stone fruit acidity that gives a chew of tension and balance. Good length and fades with overtones of almond and fresh apricot – iHeartwine
Decadent aromas of marshmallow, tangerine and ginger hover over layers of toast and cinnamon on the nose. There’s breadth and weight to the palate, with a lightly pithy finish – Wine Enthusiast
