Closure: Cork

An outstanding example of Rousanne. Bright, brassy gold colour. Superb exotic nose, with perfumed lift of cinnamon, spice lychee and paw paw. The cinnamon note is quite evident, but remains restrained so as not to over power the exotic fruit notes and flavours of the wine. Generous mouthfilling palate, with velvet smooth texture, again with the cinnamon characteristic being quite evident, over layers of walnut, lychee, subtle tropical fruit and paw paw. The structure is slightly broad but acceptable and very much part of the style. Clean finish, followed by a very long walnut, spice and lychee aftertaste. Stocks are limited.
