“Slight bronze. Slight sulphide lift, more citrus drive with slight pear. Broad, lacks finesse, phenolics override. Food : doesn?t help the phenolic edge, making it appear more clunky.”

“A straightforward take on the variety with light pear fruit and a soft palate that seems more sour with the food”

“Pale lemon. Clean strawberry/cream aromas. Fresh red-apple flavours, light even mid-palate, bright acidity and supple, slightly savoury finish. Food: Quite a good combination although the strawberry PG flavours are not quite right with the dish.”

“Clean ripe pear drop aromas flowing through to the palate. Good balanced texture on the mid palate with hints of subtle honey suckle coming through on the finish. A great match as the snapper dish with the dill gave the wine a great lift and added another dimension.”

“Light yellow. Apple, melon, slightly minty nose. Med-bodied, dry, ripe melon, apple, balanced, elegant mid-palate. Dry ripe melon and apple finish. Long. Food brought depth of the wine. No impact on food by the wine.”

“Interesting fruit driven nose with blossom, pawpaw and kiwifruit aromas. The palate is very ripe with generous fruit notes and a clean dry finish. Food brings those riper fruits notes forward.”
