top 10

Medium in colour with a reductive nose set against ripe peach and grapefruit aromas. The palate is bold with lots of flavour intensity and oak. Grilled apricots, rockmelon and citrus flavours intermingle with buttered toast and an intriguing smoky sweetness that adds to the complexity of an already complex wine.
