Scores
93 / 100"(2023 Vintage) It’s fabulously lifted on the nose, showing kiwifruit, feijoa, jasmine and lime zest aromas, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate that’s juicy and exuberant. Upfront and lively with plenty of tasty flavours, making it delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2025."
