Awards & Reviews

Decanter World Wine Awards - BRONZE MEDAL

WineNZ magazine - THREE AND A HALF STARS

Pale in colour. A restrained floral nose with some lemony notes, along with hints of jasmine. The palate is finely structured, tight and linear with very pure lime juice flavours  and a pleasing firm mouthfeel. Not all that complex(2012), but does show nice concentration on the palate with balanced acidity and good length.
