This shows distinctive Awatere characters of guava, white currant & elderflower coupled with lovely ripe tropicals and hints o f basil and lime from the Wairau fruit. These follow through to the palate, which is fine and soft with vibrant, fleshy fruit and great texture which are both balanced by a ripe, juicy acidity and lingering minerality.
"Fruit is from 65/35% Awatere/Wairau; 18% of the wine is barrel fermented. Another vivid expression of carefully picked, beautifully ripe fruit. From yuzu and blackberry leaf to Alphonso mango and guava. There is fragrant wattle and dewy rainforest leaf. Acidity hums with its electric energy and dances across the palate into kefir cream and coconut flesh. Tailored barrel ferment allows the mid-palate generosity to express some mild nutty notes and rounds out the pungent explosion of fruit. Balanced and, once again, superb." 95pts | Shanteh Wale | Halliday Wine Companion
