A lovely pale straw-green colour in the glass. Cumquat, Green Pineapple, Lemon Thyme, Lemon Curd and Pastry on the nose. A lovely lemon-lime citrus freshness in the mouth and a hint of Thyme. The creamy vanilla texture from extended barrel maturation gives the wine a long chalky textural finish to soften the acidity a touch. Quite salivating.

A wine to cellar for the long term.

Reviews

"A super-tight, super-dry wine that is somewhat reserved at this youthful stage. Yet, there are smidges of toasty, spicy oak with lemon juice and zest; it's a little flinty, very refreshing as the acidity is in overdrive to the very end. Even better in a year or so"

"Very light straw-yellow hue; creamy yeast lees and dried-herb aromas, plus a gentle spicy/nutty/toasty barrel influence. The wine is intense and crisply dry, refreshing to finish and there's a richness and texture that owes something to barrel work. A smart wine that would repay some cellar time."
