Very much enjoyed this wine! Creamy and weighted texture; nice complexity rounded out with a bright juiciness. Lemon, apple, and minerality on the palette.

Medium lemon colour with some strong vanilla and smoke on the nose as well as green apple, lemon, papaya and honey (almost like honeyed ham!). This wine has a medium-full body with medium acid and a touch of sweetness. On the palate, again some papaya, apple and citrus along with butter and vanilla on the medium long, hot finish. The smoke and butter did not overwhelm the flavours, but were very present. Easy drinking wine, good quality for the price.

This 17’ is better than the 15’ I remember.
Stone fruits and light oak vanilla on the nose. Taste of green apple, underripe pineapple, and hint of roasted almond. Round yet vivid acidity with a long mineral almost salty finish.
Lovely fruits with a great price to boot.
