Green-gold gold in hue; white peach and nectarine, ruby grapefruit augmented by cashew nuts and tangelo peel zest with a touch of flint. The palate is a mirror wrapped in a creamy textural blanket with a long finish assisted by a fine skeleton of racy acidity. It is tightly coiled with significant latent power that will emerge in time. A deep and powerful wine that will age for decades.

Double Gold [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

93 | Good varietal expression. Fabulous grapefruit flavours. Bright and energetic though note particularly long or complex.

95 | Cashew, almond, savoury. Soft, open middle and a firm grip to finish. Dry. Elevated acidity but driving and long. Potential.

95 | An intriguing nose; very subtle and taut but with power and concentration. Oak is subtle and supports the quite buttoned down fruit flavours. Lovely spine of acid. Deceptively intense.

94 | serious, fresh complex, layered, bright acidity wow! has varietal identity and purity, fresh succulent mouthfeel, seamless structure balanced complex finish ,nicely done.
