Review

Oak weighing into the complexity equation here. Lightly spicy and toasty nuances with a neat, crisp, lime-curd palate and a warm, spicy finish.

Food Pairing

Partner it with crumbed chicken breasts dabbed with mustard-cream sauce, or with baked salmon, smeared with salsa verde (puréed mint, parsley and capers).

Tasting Profile
nose

Ripe peppers, sweet pea, mandarin, and guava elements mingle with more flinty notes. Complexing toffee aromas.

palate

The palate is powerful, driving, and multifaceted. Rich with gooseberry, and white stone fruit while displaying a savoury strength. Sweet capsicum lingers with a perception of sweetness on the dry, mineral finish.
