Pale greenish straw in colour. Rich aromatics of fresh lime juice, elderflower, lemongrass, grilled citrus and ripe nectarine. Complex and intruiging. The palate is concentrated and dense, yet retains remarkable linearity and focus. Zesty citrus, stonefruit, herb and floral flavours fill the mouth, a fine chalky mineral texture tightens and focuses the finish. The wine finishes long and powerful, crisp, clean and dry.

• 5 Stars “Bright straw-yellow with pale green-gold hues to the colour, this has a gentle, but intense and deepish bouquet of fresh herbs and ripe currant fruit along with nuances of sweet and spicy oak. Dry on palate, the wine carries a rich breadth and full, open presence, showing ripe herb and earthy spice flavours. The acidity is soft and allows the wine to finish with a richness and lusciousness. A wine to match with salads, vegetables and lighter Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine over the next 3-5 years.” - Raymond Chan, Jan 2011
