AWARDS
Dave Hughes – Internationally Acclaimed Wine Writer :
Gorgeous golden glow with honeysuckle whiffs and some attractive turpene touches. Succulent in the mouth with layers of tropical flavours with litchi and peach playing a part. Beautiful balance of sugar, acid and alcohol gives wonderful elegance. Slow flow across the palate leads into long, extended finish. A classic end of evening wine but also use as a celebratory toast when the occasion calls.

ageing : Excellent now and will get even better in future.
in the vineyard : Age of vineyards planted: 12 years
about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked at 30º Balling. Only 30-40% of the bunches were infected with botrytis.
