92 Points: "Pale salmon-pink; rich and full in the mouth; moderately sweet a la Cuvee Riche." - James Halliday.
Delightful colour this alluring strawberry blonde with an enticing nose of summer Strawberry, pear with hints of almond and yeast. The bead is exciting and the Palate Creamy with integrated acid providing balance to this unctuous yet elegant wine. Strawberry, stone fruit, citrus and pastry characters provide further structure. Balance is maintained through to the back of the palate and finishes with excellent length. Ful bunch pressing and 3 years on lees make this a grand style.
