Quite dark in appearance , Burnt sugars, yellow tropical fruit, honey and spice on the nose, similar plate with zippy acidity and obscene amount of fruit and a crazy long finish
This wine has been the surprise package in my Prum cellar with singular zest and tropical fruit character that sets it apart. It has a clear yet deep gold colour with tinges of green and an arresting nose of white peaches, nectarines, lime with a touches of mango, passionfruit pineapple and honey. The palate has rich display of complex primary and botrytised fruit that fills the mouth and intrigues with many facets of flavour. There is plenty of zesty fruit acid and terroir based minerality to balance the fruit and to leave a long lasting impression of joy in a glass. This is a singular success.

On the nose, it shows very obvious bontrytis notes. On the palate, layers of white peach, mango, pineapple, lime and apricot keep unfolding. It is quite sweet, but perfectly balanced by high acidity. It's highly enjoyable now, but it will further improve in the many years to come.

At Butterfly, Woolloongabba.This wine has a clear yet deep gold colour with tinges of green and an attention grabbing nose of white peaches, nectarines, lime with a touches of mango, honey and pineapple. The palate has rich display of complex primary and botrytised fruit that fills the mouth. This is balanced by a firm line of minerality and acid that adds both zest and balance so that this appears deceptively light on its feet. This is developing into a cracker of a wine with tons of exuberance and character.
At Shunsai, East Brisbane. This wine has a clear gold colour with tinges of green and a heady nose of white peaches, nectarines, lime with a touch of apricot. The palate has rich display of fruit that fills the mouth balanced by a well defined line of minerality and acid that makes the whole package light and zesty. This is a great glass of wine.

This is an immediate crowd pleaser.
