Tasting notes:
Lychee, mango and ginger. Rosewater overlying floral notes dominate the soft texture through the midpalate. The wine finishes with a brightness and persistence of flavour.
Review:
4.5 Stars Michael Cooper's Buyer's Guide
Grown in the Waihopai Valley – partly in the estate vineyard – the strongly varietal 2021 vintage (4*) was fermented and lees-aged in tanks. Bright, light lemon/green, it is aromatic and full-bodied, with peachy, spicy flavours, a sliver of sweetness balanced by fresh acidity, and very good depth. Best drinking mid-2023+.
