Fruit was sourced from a certified organic vineyard planted in 1998 and the wine was aged on yeast lees for 8 months to enhance texture and complexity. Bright pale straw colour with a subtle glimmer of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Exotic ripe pear, baked apple and honeycomb aromas stream out of the glass with notions of lychee, musk and spice also evident. Rich and textural, luscious ripe pear, baked apple, honeysuckle, musk and spice flavours flood the mouth. Finishes just off dry with ample freshness and a long expressive aftertaste.
Drink over the next 1-2 year.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews….
Aromas of sliced pear and apple with light almond pastry and apple blossom. Some white peach, too. The palate offers a very intense, fleshy delivery of ripe pear and peach. Pure and flavorful. Good drive and depth here. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
