From Meredith Estate. 60% new oak. Whew. Extremely aromatic - candied pear, mirabelle plum, mandarin orange, slightly herbaceous. Quite oaky - grippy, with some tannin from the oak here, too - but well handled, I think. Fantastic tangy acidity helps keep this super clean. I do wonder if I drank more than an ounce of this if the oak would bug me. But for now, I have only good things to say. 13.8%, $48/375ml.

Actually from Sauvignon Muscat. Medium plus nose is nice, floral tones of white flowers, honeysuckle, musty feel that adds to it, dried apricot. Palate is not as sweet as expected, nice structure comes with it, toasted pineapple, guava, honeycomb, finishes pretty dry for dessert wine. Tasty stuff.

Honeyed peaches and apricots. Not enough acid to balance out the fruit.

I nice dessert wine. My favorite dessert wine is Dolce and in comparison this one is very good but a bit sweeter than Dolce. Very nice
