Reviews and comments:
“Spicy, honeysuckle-like aromas of lemon and apricot with a candied, barley sugar-like aspect precede a vibrant juicy palate whose tangy citrus flavours are backed by a mineral note” Jeremy Oliver – TheAustralian Wine Annual 2010.
“A more complex wine than expected….spiced lemon custard, nutty oak & tangelo citrus. Smoothly textured & delivers plenty if flavour, length & shape. It’s a complex & complete package, which shows superior purity to boot” 2012 Nick Stock SMH & Age Good Wine Guide 2011
Complex and full of personality. Rich aromas and flavours of spices, honey and quince paste. Dry, savoury finish of intensity and length” Huon Hooke -
