All fruit parcels for this wine were independently barrel fermented before blending. Eight months on lees has added texture delivering aromas of honeysuckle, citrus blossom and creaming soda.
Apricot flavours are abundant and the palate weight is not too dense yet it is still bold enough. The fruit appears a little firm though and sits predominantly on the front and mid palate.
This wine worked well with a creamy pasta dish. It gets a tick.
