If you’re after a wine that is luxurious and opulent, yet shows sophistication and elegance, then this is the wine for you. This masterfully crafted example radiates confidence with fresh hits of nectarines, peach and nashi pear, intertwined with lemon curd and vanilla bean. Delicate nuances of oatmeal and almond add a creamy element, that only compliments and builds upon the lushness and complexity. Dynamic.
The palate invites with a dichotomy of rich and generous, verse a wave of scintillation and poise. Flavours of pear, stone fruit and nougat set the tone, with skeletal acidity ensuring this wine stays focused and fresh. A tiny hint of flint, gives a sense of minerality adding a textural component. The wine just rolls off the tongue into a succulent finale, that offers testament the power of the fruit used. For such a generous style, this wine has been made with an element of control, letting the fruit shine and bare its true expression. A real classic.
A somewhat worked style and yet it delivers. Injected with pineapple, stone fruit, oak spice and lots of creamy, leesy flavours, and then super vibrant acidity comes along and boxes up the package. It's slick.
