Halliday Wine Companion - 95 Points

Pale straw with aromas of flint-struck white peach, nectarine and citrus fruits infused with hints of soft spice, clotted cream, nougat, almond meal, meadow flowers and stone. Initially creamy and mouth-filling, with a impressive fruit purity. There's an element of savoury restraint to its palate shape, with fine acidity lending propulsion, and textural filigree from a patina of fine, light phenolics. The finish is long, pure and precise. Great drinking all round here! Dave Brookes

Tasting Notes

Aroma: White nectarine, citrus blossom, and grapefruit zest lead into subtle notes of nougat, flint, and toasted cashew.
Palate: Sleek and textural with stone fruits, lemon curd, and hints of almond cream. The French oak is seamlessly integrated, enhancing structure and complexity without overpowering.
Finish: Long, pure, and mineral-driven, with lingering citrus and saline freshness.

Food Pairing / Serving Suggestions

Pair with seared scallops, roast chicken with lemon and thyme, grilled lobster, or creamy mushroom risotto. Serve lightly chilled at 10–12°C.
