Pale straw with green hues. Lifted and fragrant aromas of cut pear, white peach, nectarine, citrus and custard apple are supported by baking spices and toasted cashew. The palate shows richness and finesse with flavours of ripe peach and pear providing a fleshy textural quality, complemented by overtones of crème brûlée and oatmeal. These characters are beautifully balanced by fresh citrus acidity and subtle oak nuances, giving the wine depth and finishing with incredible length.
Not barrel-fermented, simply matured in French barriques (only 18% new). It throws down a challenge in this day and age, the fruit fighting back with its thrust and penetration. It is still newborn, with plenty of development potential, although the price may cause some to blink.
