Intense, dynamic, complex bouquet with exotic aromas of grapefruit-pith, guava, passionfruit-flower, green honey-dew melon, nettles, chevre, and vanilla pod. A little closed at first but opens up well in the glass. A well-weighted wine with citrus and passionfruit flavours, a slightly honeyed, barrel-influenced texture, vibrant acidity and a firm, piquant finish. Not your average Sauvignon but rather a rich engaging style.

Rich, concentrated wine with an almost syrupy intensity. Quite complex with spicy oak and nutty yeast lees competing for attention with grapefruit, guava and green capsicum flavours. Tangy acidity adds a mouthwatering freshness. Distinctive wine that deserves to attract a cult following.30 NOV 2022 Drink 2022–2029
