  Orange and grapefruit zest, plenty of ripe peach and a flinty dried apricot element. Still full of acidity and a nice touch of age (marmaladey) but plenty of time left in this...2-5 years at least.

  Delicious surprising wine that has a smokey oak character wiht full flavoured citrus characters. grapefruit and white nectarines with some herbal undertones leaving many layers of flavour that are well integrated. The wine has good acidity creating excellent length that leaves you wanting more.

  What a surprise. Delicious, bright and lively in the glass. Forward citrus and mild lemon peel. Its a buy.

  Nose shows big notes of buttery pastry, apple schnapps, and spring onion. Palate is medium-bodied: oily, but held together with firm, tart acidity. Strong, fresh fruit flavours of guava, apple, and lime, with a sulfury note of spring onion, all over a background of cashew and light caramel.
