Shanteh Wale - Halliday Wine Companion
Sliced pineapple, papaya and bursting aloe vera. There is a tropical nature to this wine that lifts from the bottom of the glass to the ceiling. Some oyster shell and white stone, with a gentle creaminess of white cornmeal thanks to some neutral oak. Acidity is bright and held in by some savoury white pepper on the finish. A lovely wine to complement fresh cheeses and garden greens.

James Suckling
A crisp and easy sauvignon blanc, showing lots of lemon and mineral character. Light-bodied with a creamy texture, it’s linear and fresh. Ready for the beach.

Christina Pickard - Wine Enthusiast
Heady aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit and blackcurrant leaf fill the nostrils, while the mouth is satiated by crisp acidity and a slightly slippery texture. Drink with asparagus and other summer veg.
2025 - Decanter World Wine Awards
Classic, pungent white peach, lime and blackcurrant aromatics with a solid backbone of acidity carrying the fruit and power.
