Pale gold. Floral nose, mostly elderflower with gooseberry and a bit of guava. Light-bodied with high acidity amplifying flavours of lemon, grapefruit, lime, and Granny Smith apple. Could have a more integrated character. Drink up.
A lot of wine here for the money. The nose reveals pear, butter, citrus and subtle spice notes from the French oak barrels. It’s well balanced on the palate with a mélange of pear, apple and citrus, integrated spice and good vibrancy through the finish.
All estate grown fruit, mainly stainless steel fermented yields vibrant orchard and stone fruits up front before a generous but well balanced palate of pear, peach and apple with a little extra body from partial neutral oak. With oak kept well in check, the fruit prevails throughout perked up by freshness and juicy acidity through the close. Excellent value.
Clear deep plum red. Medium intensity; simple nose of raspberry, liquorice and spice. Light-bodied, with tannins almost gone. Light flavours of assorted red berries and good acidity. Drink up.
The nose shows a profound and complex riot of violets, sweet tobacco leaf, crushed blackcurrants, stewed plums, fruitcake, spicy wild berries and blueberry pie. It is big and assertive on the palate with weight, density and complex fruits of sweet blackcurrants, dates, kirsch and blueberries in combination with myriad spices stitched neatly into the highly structured package. It is a super-rich, super-concentrated dark and flamboyant Port with a long, long finish. It will take years of patience to fully appreciate, but it will be worth every second of the wait.
Pear, pineapple, sweet peach and golden apple meet up with oak influence: cream, vanilla and spice. Taut, there is crisp acidity, with citrus and minerality carrying the finale.
From the winery’s estate vineyard in Summerland, hand punched down, aged 12 months in used French barriques. Aromas of wild red berries and forest floor precede a pure fruit entry defined by cherry, strawberry and raspberry with savoury undertones, a silky textured mouthfeel, medium bodied with good acidity and structure through a gently spicy finish.
