James Halliday - Published on 10 Aug 2016 95 points
Largely ex the Lenswood vineyard, handpicked, chilled overnight; whole bunch pressed, wild yeast-fermented in new and used French barriques; 9 months maturation. Makes its presence felt the first millisecond it enters the mouth, but doesn't threaten. A seamless fusion of white peach, biscuity oak and fresh acidity.

Light, youthful, restrained colour and a lovely fresh, clean, precise aroma of fruit, with early-picked stone fruit and pome fruit (pear) to the fore. Oak is invisible. But there is underlying nutty, nougat-like complexity. The palate is very delicate, long and stylish. A very smart wine, which promises to unfold more with time.
