Tasting Notes
Colour and condition: Medium straw colour; bright condition. Nose: Lively primary fruit aromas consisting of lemon, stewed apple and figs, as well as lifted floral notes like gardenia. Complex notes of mushroom and cheese also stand out. Palate: This is a full bodied wine, with fresh but well balanced acidity. It displays generous fig and lemon flavours of good weight and length and then a slight tannin finish.
Cellaring Notes
This is a full flavoured white wine, with generous fruit flavours providing attractive early drinking but it is also a very good cellaring prospect. For those with the patience for cellaring, the wine will develop slowly over the next 10 years, by which time it will show the beginning of a complex, toasty bottle bouquet.
