AN INSTANT CLASSIC
95/100 | Candice Wine Chat
FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
94/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
93/100 | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
This is glorious example of thoughtful and thoroughly modern Hawke's Bay winemaking. It showcases a medley of exotic fruits framed in a lush palate with glycerol mouthfeel and perfectly pitched, refreshing acidity. This is a such a pretty and attractive style but the ethereal texture and sheer deliciousness on the palate push it straight into the 'must try' category. An instant classic. Very highly recommended.
The 2024 is a blend of 95% marsanne and 5% roussanne from the Gimblett Gravels, hand-picked with partial malolactic fermentation.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Charming and elegantly lifted, the bouquet shows apricot, green rockmelon, Gala apple, and lime peel nuances, leading to a concentrated palate displaying succulent fruit flavours with fleshy texture and beautifully pitched acidity. Generous yet poised with harmony and structure, finishing persistent, and satisfying. At its best: now to 2030."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A very bright and fruity bouquet laced with scents of citrus and pomaceous fruits, there’s a sea air saline and floral quality offering complexity and intrigue. Delicious on the palate with a core of ripe white stone fruit flavours then apple and citrus peel. Phenolics are spread across the palate adding mouthfeel and structure, acidity adds backbone and freshness as well the saline quality. A lovely example with best drinking from 2025 through 2029."
