Professional Reviews & Awards
5 Stars - The Wine Writer
By Angie Atkinson, 'The Wine Writer'A blend of two vineyard sites in the Moutere Valley which are prominently planted with the Mendoza clone and on clay soils. Fermented and aged for over ten months in a combination of new French and American oak barrels.
Medium golden colour with stunning aromas of peach, nectarine, toasted oak, white blossom, and white spice. A medium bodied wine with complex and concentrated flavours of stone fruit, roasted apple, and spice with a splash of acidity and a lengthy finish. Elegant and textured, this wine will match well with a number of dishes including roast pork, chicken and risotto.
5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“A gorgeous rich offering, the bouquet shows yellow peach, mango, baked fig and vanillin oak characters with a fabulous butterscotch undertone. It’s wonderfully weighted and fleshy on the palate, displaying excellent fruit intensity together with seductive oak nuances, finishing sumptuous and gratifying.”
Premium - Cameron Douglas Master Sommelier
By Cameron Douglas MSClassic cool climate fruit aromas of grapefruit and peach alongside new French oak’s vanilla and toasty wood scents. Near full-bodied and dry on the palate with flavours of apple, citrus, peach and baking spices. Youthful grip from acidity and oak along with fine wood tannins and tense poised mouthfeel. Well made, a developing complexity, ready to enjoy with food or on its own from late 2021 through 2025+.
