TASTING NOTE: There's excellent acidity, stunning flavour and persistent purity of fruit here. Gorgeous aromas of baking spice, caramel and orchard fruit unleash a balanced and beautiful wash of ripe pear and crisp green apple interwoven with nutty and mineral notes on the palate infusing the lively, refreshing finish. Pour on its own or with roast pork. Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, Feb. 27, 2017) |
