“Delightfully styled and expressed, the bouquet showcases sweet strawberries, crunchy apples, apricots, and floral nuances, culminating in a refreshing palate that is juicy and lively. Beautifully balanced and lingering with tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2027” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2025
“Very appealing bouquet and palate with aromas and flavours that remind of ripe, warm climate Hawkes Bay with fresh red berries and red apple skin then chilled red zinger tea. Just dry on the palate with fine tannins and acidity framing the core fruit flavours. Balanced and well made in a drink now expression. Best from 2025 through end of 2026” Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2024
