Tasting Notes: Beautifully ripe and inviting, the wine shows peach, rockmelon, fresh pear and blossom aromas on the nose, followed by a succulent palate that's smooth and lingering. Well-proportioned and attractively expressed, making it delightfully drinkable
Praise💥🍷 : Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 91 points 4/5 Stars ****/* It's elegantly expressed, showing white flesh nectarine, fresh pear, fig and subtle spice aromas, followed by a beautifully rounded palate offering juicy fruit flavours with fine texture, leading to a lengthy refreshing finish. At its best: now to 2026.
Cameron Douglas MS 92 points Premium Classic appearance of straw and soft golden hues leading to a bouquet and palate of orchard fruits from green and brown-skinned pears to yellow apples and quince. Crisp, refreshing, dry, balanced and well made with medium weight and acidity, a light satin texture and a balanced persistent finish. Best drinking from late 2023 through the end of summer 2025
