Review/Comments

This classy, youthful wine was grown at two sites, in Mangatahi and Bridge Pa, and fermented and matured for nine months in French oak puncheons and barriques (partly new). Bright, light yellow/green, with a fragrant, mealy bouquet, it is mouthfilling, savoury and complex, with highly concentrated, citrusy, peachy flavours, seasoned with biscuity oak, fresh acidity and a very harmonious, long finish. Best drinking 2022+. $85
