"...The hallmarks of it's quality are twofold: texture and finesse. It feels good as it patters along your tongue and then, just before it disappears down your throat, it begins to tip-toe it's way out through the finish. It does not lack flavour and it doesn't not lack length either, but it does have a delicate touch. It tastes of hazelnut and citrus, powdered milk and green nectarine / melon. It needs an extra year or two in the bottle but time will see it build. Decanting is advised." 94 Points Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, July 2011
Winemaking
Fruit is selected from 4 distinct estate vineyards. The grapes are hand picked and whole bunch crushed and pressed to extract some good phenolics for texture and minerality. Once the fruit is pressed, it is allowed to settle overnight before roughly racking to older French oak casks for fermentation. No yeast is added. Some lees stirring is used, depending on each parcel.
