Appearance:
Palest yellow in colour with a green hue and diamond bright.
Aroma:
Lifted ripe aromas of green apple, orange and grapefruit blossom in the glass, with underlying notes of guava, feijoa, freshly torn herbs, gunflint and an oak‐derived allspice character.
Palate:
In the mouth the wine shows great intensity, followed by impressive length. Subtle oak imparts weight to the mid‐palate as well as texture. The palate is sinewy with superb line and brisk acidity. The concentrated flavours of ripe white nectarine and passionfruit pulp are balanced by a noticeable citrus element followed by a dry mineral finish.
Food ideas:
Goat cheese ravioli with herbed tomato sauce, roasted sea bass with lemon and rosemary, oysters on the half shell or sushi.
Drink: The wine will continue to grow in complexity for five or more years from vintage.
