James Suckling, 90 Points 

"A perfumed nose with sliced pears, grapefruit pith, white flowers and leafy herbs. Vibrant and floral on the palate with round texture and tangy acidity. Fruity and flavorful. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap." 

Wine Spectator, 

"A lithe, lively white, offering a pretty overtone of elderflower and other white blossoms, with a subtle streak of minerality underscoring a hint of preserved lemon and flavors of juicy Asian pear, blanched almond and pickled ginger." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The wine is bright in appearance, with a nose of fresh pears, ripe apricots and subtle oak spice from maturation of just over 40% of the blend in large, neutral oak barrels and Foudres. The firmly textured wine displays a fine crisp neutral acidity penetrating the length of the palate, supporting flavours of ripe Granny Smith apples and cinnamon spice. As with all wines of pedigree, the length of the finish is a mark of the wonderful concentration of fruit flavour and balance often achieved through the use of mature vineyards, as is the case here." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
