Gold [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

91 | Light and bright with crunchy acidity. A vanilla oak overlay. Lacks a little stuffing on the mid palate.

94 | Bright youthful colour with purple tints, raspberry and balsamic herbs, violets. Sawn timber oak. Medium bodied, elegant wine, mercifully gentle tannins. Bright, clean, balanced and very drinkable.

89 | Gentle tertiary notes have erased much of the varietal character but pretty, delicate sweetly fruited palate. Falls away on the finish.

91 | oaky spicy mineral dusty cherry an spiced plums good balanced sweet fruit with rocky core, long finish , nicely done
