Great balance and purity. Slight Smokey note, burnt caramel, and typical citrus but with a salty character. Not fat, or lean - just perfect. Would buy again.

Toast and butter with some restrained pear. I remember doing some sort of cave tour in Margaret River years ago. Wonder if it's the same cave?

Having this one again and thoroughly enjoying it. Nice creaminess. Delicious with roast chicken.

Delicious fresh nose with pear and melon followed by a juicy full palate with a touch of creaminess, some spicy oak, a bit of minerality and a zingy acid finish. Every sip is enjoyable.

Reductive with typical Oz show pony struck match / flint. Pear and golden apple with toast and mineral. Terrific complexity and length.

Best in Show at Vancouver Magazine's International Wine Competition. I tasted this wine at their gala Big Night event, paired with Dungeness crab in dashi custard and yuzu. Heavenly!
