Decanter, 94 Points 

"Incredibly, five-year-old vines at Gumeracha have produced fruit of surprising finesse and feistiness. Proud, taut and trim, the palate melds fresh, zesty grapefruit, lime and a crunch of firm Nashi pear, and a quartz grip that accentuates a savory edge. Minerality just wins out in the end." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Lemongrass, lime-leaf, guava, but there is that incredible flinty, reductive whiff that is always here when the wine is in peak form. As you may pick up - it is in peak form. So much grapefruit and quartz charging down the middle of the palate, with bits of jasmine and nectarine trailing in its wake. I don’t think we’ve captured the Birdwood soil profile so well in a wine before. You could chew on this acid for days. Alluvium feels special this year."
