Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
Gorgeously fruited and enticing, the bouquet shows green rockmelon, feijoa, kiwifruit, and lemongrass aromas, followed by powerfully expressed palate offering pristine fruit flavours with beautifully infused acidity. Classically styled and exuberant, offering terrific drinking.

James Suckling
Fresh aromas of lemon peel, cut grass, bell peppers and flint. The light- to medium-bodied palate has high-tension acidity, giving notes of kiwis, green apples and pineapple. Tightly bound with a nervy edge.
2025 - Decanter World Wine Awards
Peach, lemon and passionfruit nose supported by green herbal back notes. Crisp and lively on the palate; fleshy and juice.
Award: Bronze - DWWA 2025
