“Developed colour, slight dull. Broad, toast & lemon citrus, slight stalky overtones. Similar to nose, losing freshness, hard & phenolic. Food : works quite well, but thins out on the end palate.”

“Growing old gracefully with intense flavours of citrus and toast that becomes an umami love in when matched with miso aubergine.”

“Mid lemon-yellow. Lemon-curd, honey-toast and linen aromas. Mature, lemon-linen flavours. Low-profile mid-palate, moderate acidity and dry, savoury finish. Food: Excellent combination. Wine fills out well and carries the spice in the dish.”

“Lovely toasty nose through to palate. Great acidity with hints of nectarine flesh and stone fruit coming through. Great with the Japanese eggplant dish as the wine is beautifully textured with great acidity.”

“Oily, fennel, lime leaf nose. Light, fresh lime acidity backing fennel, oily floral grape flavours. Dry, slightly mineral finish. Long. Neutral food pairing.”

“Very pale straw gold colour. More complex nose with yeasty aromas complexing with hints of acacia and eucalyptus but all in exceptional balance. Very interesting palate, the primary fruit is still apparent and there is life and freshness along with those more complex developed characters. This more complex style pairs beautifully with savoury food.”
