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!

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.
