Brilliant straw colour with a watery hue. The nose shows impressive lift with top notes of ripe peach intermeshed with cashew and biscuit followed by some roast almond and dried honey end notes. Medium weight with good richness and a sense of creaminess about the texture the palate features mouthfilling flavours of cashew and biscuity oak over dried honey, almonds and light spice. Clean dry finish with good length. Medium to long cashew, biscuit, dried honey and almond aftertaste.

Other Reviews….
It's a privilege, born of site climate and attention to detail in the vineyard, to have a second label of this quality and complexity; the high natural acidity allows the grapes to ripen to a higher baume than normal without becoming blowsy, just full of flavour. Drink by 2017.
