February 26, 2024 - Simply stunning dessert wine that tastes similar to a great German ice wine. Darkish color with incredibly delicious strawberry/raspberry flavors and a strong bead of acidity. The finish is just so deeply complex with the perfect amount of intensity and fabulous notes of minerals and spices. Wowza!

February 28, 2021 - Deep amber colour.
Marmalade and stewed apricot and apple on the nose.
Intense in sweetness and massive gorgeous acidity on the palate - marmalade, stewed fruit, glacé fruit, caramel and toffee - endless length. Burnt toffee at the end. Shame it was the only bottle we have! -

May 31, 2020 - From halves. Medium amber in colour, the 2015 Straw Wine has an attractive bouquet of peach, mango, lemon tea, and sweet flower. The palate is concentrated but not overly heavy, with sweet mango and ripe stone fruit balanced by good acidity and minerals. Ready to drink, but interested to see how this may develop in the long term though this was less good on the second and third day with the wine losing a bit of focus. Sadly this was my last bottle. 10% alc. and 100% chenin blanc.

February 27, 2020 - Beautiful darkish color. Great intensity for a sweet wine with lots of succulent acidity to balance out the rich sweet flavors of apricots and raspberries. The finish is taut and complex with notes of minerals and stone fruit pit. Maturing rather quickly so drink up soon.
