Bursting with juicy tropical fruit, a core of citrus, stony minerality and a touch of herbaceousness. The palate is tangy and refreshing. An initial blast of racy acidity that's softened by a hint of creaminess delivering a lush mouthfeel.
Pale lemon colour.
Pronounced aromas of gooseberry, pineapple, mango, passion fruit, lemon grass, peas, grapefruit pith, white peach, wet slate, sea foam.
Pronounced palate.
Medium body, high acidity, long finish.

My last vintage of this reviewed was the 2017.... On nose: shy notes of green pepper, smoke and melon rind. On palate: all above flavours singing, with lemon peel, tart nectarine, thyme and sea salt....all displayed on a medium body with sleek acidity. A less exotic wine than the Cloudy Bay, more restrained...but equally enjoyable.

Agree with all the reviews so far with this wine. Nice balanced tropical and stone fruits with nice acid and salinity.
