Accolades

Cameron Douglas MS, 97 Points, Sept 2025
Complex and intriguing, developing and very bright with a bouquet of complexity and development, fresh heirloom grapefruit, yellow peach and white spice, a deep core of autolysis and baked goods. Enticing. On the palate a rush of very fine bubbles and coarse-silk mousse textures, no mistaking the backbone of acidity, then a core of complexity from flavours of baked goods and orchard stone fruits, lemon peel and mineral. Saline and fresh, lengthy and delicious. As the wine warms in glass and opens out the complexity builds with a gentle floral quality and persistent tree and citrus fruit flavours. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2035.
