Winery review: 87 – Wine Enthusiast

A rainy minerality on the nose of this sweet wine manages to cut through the sugared oranges, honeysuckle and ripe, tropical white fleshed fruit, from peach to cherimoya. The palate is full of honeyed apples, white peach and pineapple, but the decent acidity and chalky element stops it short of treacly.

Personal review:  The nose on this wine was floral and sweet. There were aromas of peaches and apricots and a little perfumy-ness as well. On the palate this wine was extremely sweet, but smooth and crisp. This would be best served extremely chilled on a hot summer day, with fresh fruits to compliment the wine.
