This wine reflects a light golden hue, testament to its barrel fermentation and maturation. Initially attractive notes of kumquat, fresh lime zest and minerality follows through to delicious aromas of elderflower, rose water and blooming spring jasmine. Delicate and subtle fresh vanilla pods become evident as the wine develops in the glass. As the wine has not undergone malolactic fermentation, the mid-palate is fresh, yet beautifully balanced with the richness and structure offered by even handed wooding. The finish is fresh and crisp, testimony to its cool climate origin.

98 | Fragrant bouquet of apricot, toast and hints of vanilla. Ripe, rich and round, excellent intensity and power. Textural complexity with plentiful toasty vanillin notes on the long finish.

90 | Spicy oak and stone fruit aromas. Oily texture, dry, fresh acidity finishing with ripe stone fruits. Maybe oak a bit excessive.

95 | Classic Viognier with lovely stonefruit vanilla notes, fine slinky textures. Generous with good richness and torque

95 | A delicious baked style. A classy wine with impressive flavour. A lovely, long palate.
