Aromas of ripe peach, grapefruit marmalade, blossoms and complex yeasty flavours complement the toasty oak in the wine. The palate is clean with a lovely texture and long finish.
Unwooded and well-balanced, with fresh melon and grapefruit flavours, and a full zesty palate.
Fine & focussed with a dense core of blue & red fruits - fleshy mid-palate, fine-grained tannins a long and complex aftertaste
