$25.99
Accolades :
94 Points – Sam Kim, WineOrbit‘Beautifully fruited and elegantly fragrant, the bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, poached pear, and subtle spice aromas. The palate is equally appealing with succulent fruit flavours, fleshy texture, and finely pitched acidity, making it splendidly balanced and lingering with delectable flavours.’
Grown on the Mangatahi Terraces in Hawke’s Bay the site experiences warm days but cooler night temperatures which enables the wine to express lovely fruit characters backed up by a fresh, lively acidity.
