Reviews and Ratings

Sun gold in colour, aromas of warm beeswax, granny smith apple and citrus peel leap from
the glass. The palate is focused and intense with concentrated notes of preserved lemon,
pithy marmalade and sour candies. Hints of minerality and a creamy meyer lemon curd
character are beginning to emerge as a result of the wine’s two-year cellaring time before
release. The finish is long and dry with a bright, textured acidity - the signature calling card
of this wine each year.
