Ripe notes of fresh apricot combine with luscious characters of marmalade, raisin and sweet honeycomb. The palate is perfectly balanced with the same opulent characters showing, leading into a wonderful depth and concentration with a refreshing clean acidity.

Pungent, toasty aromas of dried raisin, apricot & beeswax & dried florals on the nose denote a dense expression of this fully botrytised style of wine. Deftly handled by the winemaker to bring all that is great about riesling and its hallmark of acidity to the fore. A lovely, clean, expressive example.

Michael Cooper 2020

5* | The lovely 2018 vintage was estate-grown in the heart of the Wairau valley. Light gold, it is fresh & lively, with concentrated peach & apricot flavours, enriched by botrytis-derived honey notes, abundant sweetness, balanced acidity & a slightly oil texture. Drink now or cellar.

Cameron Douglas MS 2019

95pts - Outstanding | Intense and inviting aromas of honey and apricot, fresh California peach, bees wax and treacle. Very sweet with contrasting acidity giving great balance and allowing the core of fruit and honey flavours to power through the palate. Long divine finish, drink now and through 2024.
