Tasting Note

The nose opens with beautiful white floral aromas, white peach and mandarin. The palate continues the white peach, and orange citrus, backed up with notes of brioche and macadamia – supported with a subtle lick of and well- integrated oak. The wine has a backbone of stoney acidity and oyster shell-like minerality, tying everything together, and leading to a long and graceful finish.
