Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Medium lemon colour, dry, aromatic and fresh medium bodied wine. Floral and peach aromas with yeasty/bready and mineral notes. Flavours of citrus, wet stone and peach with a slight oily texture. Worked very well with grilled bacon wrapped scallops.
Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Big and rich oak notes right off the bat, some vanilla spice, butter and cream, then fruity aromas of banana, melon, and pear squeak into the bouquet. Back to oak on the palate, barrel staves and baking spice before the tropical fruits enter the mix. Creamy and full on the palate, boasting a high 14.5% ABV. Wraps up cleanly and ready for another sip. Quite nice with roast turkey and creamy pasta dishes.
