A fresh and exuberant release from 2022 that talks to the vintage. Typical aromas of passionfruit pulp interwoven with kaffir lime leaf. The palate has the textural elements we have come to love in this vineyard, with succulence and sophistication.
Brilliant white gold, & packed with the aromas of tropical fruit, ripe grapefruit, Key lime & passionfruit. The palate shows more weight with nectarine, white peach & a fine sea-salt edge that only adds to the wine’s ripe, thirst-quenching character.
On the nose, notes of blackcurrant, papaya, white pear, melons and grapefruit — all ripe and delicious. Very well balanced and offset by sweet toffee and green bell pepper. On the palate, powerful, mouth-filling and textured.

The 2018 is a gorgeous wine. It is emphasizes fruit density and power, while the savory notes that are typical of this site are nearly buried. Blueberry, tobacco, licorice, smoke, incense and leather open with some coaxing.
