The fruit for this wine was block picked, destemmed and harvested in the cool of morning. The juice was cold settled then fermented cool to preserve its distinct pure fruit aromas and subtle floral aromatics. Small amount of time on lees added richness and texture while also retaining the freshness of fruit flavours.

"Pristine, fresh and enticing aromas of ripe strawberry and cherry flesh, there's a sweet rose and fine mineral core quality. Silky textured with a core of ripe light red fruit flavours, still floral and mineral accentuated by a salivating acid line and gentle fine fruit tannins. 93 Points." Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, 2021 Vintage.
"Floral and very fruity core with aromas and flavours of strawberries and red plum, apple and a touch of chilled tropical fruit tea. Youthful, crisp and tense on the plate with fruit flavours that mirror the nose, chalky textured fruit tannins and moments of minerality. Dry on the finish, balanced and well made. 92 Points." Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, 2020 Vintage.
"Pristine and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows crunchy apple, citrus peel and floral aromas with a hint of sweet raspberry. It's juicy and lively on the palate with fine texture and crisp acidity, finishing long and very tasty. It's light, bright and delightfully vibrant. 5 Stars." Wine Orbit, 2019 Vintage.
