19/20 - Candice Chow - Raymond Chan Wine Reviews

5 Stars - Michael Cooper
"Classy stuff. Estate-grown at Waipara, in North Canterbury, in top vintages it is richly fragrant and thrillingly intense, with flavours of citrus fruits and honey, complex and luscious. Based on mature vines and stopfermented in a distinctly medium style, it breaks into full stride at about three years old and can mature well for over a decade. The distinctive 2020 vintage is already delicious. Bright yellow/green, it is weighty and rich, with deep, peachy, slightly honeyed and gingery flavours, gentle sweetness, and a very harmonious finish." Michael Cooper

5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Wonderfully fruited and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows pineapple, grilled peach, orange peel, ginger and subtle honey characters, leading to a delectably expressed palate that's filled with succulent fruit flavours and rich texture. Opulent yet harmonious with attractive sweetness and bright acidity, finishing long and luscious." Sam Kim

"Fantastic bouquet, pure, ripe, zesty and fresh. Aromas and flavours peaches and lemon zest, there’s a honeysuckle and marmalade quality with fresh red apples and a lfted white flower quality. Off dry as the wine touches the palate with an immediately contrasting acid line and core fruit flavors that reflect the bouquet. Delicious, fresh and just dry on the finish. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2030." Cameron Douglas

This wine has a star bright lemon hue and while lemons, limes and mandarins come to the fore, there is a background of ripe stonefruit such as peaches and apricots. Honeysuckle and honeycomb influences come from botrytis, which has also made the wine more full bodied and concentrated. It has a spine of natural acidity and tingling minerality that helps draw out the palate structure to a citrus zest finish.
