Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of white peaches, nectarines and grapefruit are complimented by biscuity oak, subtle dried honey, citrus and faint notions of gun flint. The palate’s white peach, nectarine and grapefruit flavours show ample intensity yet also possess a calm, slightly creamed feel. Subtle citrusy dried honey characters, biscuity oak and light infusions of gun flint also present themselves. Dry fresh finish with a medium to long aftertaste that shows restraint.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
Like all Flowstone white wines, comes from their Karridale Vineyard. The vinification doesn't change from one year to the next, except for the gestation period from grape to glass here is over 41 months. The flow of fruit flavours is mesmerising, moving through peach and co to grapefruit and co. 450 dozen made. Drink by 2042.
