Plush, flashy and ripe white fleshed
fruit aromas with brown pear, Asian pear, apple and white spice, a zesty
slightly heady moment is distinctive. On the palate – equally ripe as fresh as
the nose suggests; more emphasis on the variety with hot spice, medium+ acidity
then white fleshed fruits. Silky texture, lengthy finish, balanced. Drink now
and through 2022.

Varietal, plenty of intensity and push
with ripe apple and pear fruit aromas; white peach, a floral/honeysuckle layer
and whisper of white spice. On the palate – immediately engages the senses with
firm youthful texture highlighting the acidity and emphasising a citrus and
pear flavour combination; flavours of white peach and spice follow. Lengthy
finish, youthful and ready. Drink now and through 2022.

Vibrant, fresh, plush and youthful Pinot
Noir bouquet – packed with red berry fruit and mineral aromas, some button
mushroom and red tea suggestions with just enough oak to make a small statement
with soft brown spice layers and a hint of wood smoke. On the palate – dry,
youthful and vibrant with flavours of berries and a little oak; fresh acid line
and moderate tannin flow across the palate, dry finish, youthful and coming
into balance. Drink now and through 2024.
