Pale straw in colour with green hues,the aroma of creamy white peach & pear fruit with citrus freshness. The palate is an enticing combination of stone fruits layered with flinty minerality and a creamy vanillin oak center. Finishes crisp and clean.
2018 Was Another Very Solid Vintage. A Very Late Spring Delayed Flowering Until Late November / Early December. A Very Even Fruit Set And Ample Water, The Vines Flourished. Big Strong Canopies Meant The Vines Were Able To Ripen The Grapes Later In The Season. Warm And Dry For All Of February And March.

Nick Butler The Real Review
"Hazelnuts and nougat lead a soft and savoury, mineral-driven nose. Oak is very quiet. There are just-ripe stone fruits on the palate, nectarines and peaches tightened and tamed by grapefruit acidity. It’s built for purpose. A terrific value proposition."
