Warm appeal of ripe blackberry, cherry and fruitcake aromas. Those same flavours step confidently onto the palate; black cherry, fruitcake and blackberry – with a light brush of herbs and trace of bonfire smoke too. Gentle and easy textured, its light to medium body makes for effortless enjoyment. Supple and succulent to the end.
Subtle floral edge to stonefruit and pear aromas. Bright, tangy and fresh entry to the mouth. Crisp and lively with apple, orange and gentle pear fruit flavours livened by a touch of lemon or orange zest. Composed and poised with light to medium body, the wine is soft textured and appealing with a trace of citrus peel on the lengthy tail.
A delicate nuance of chamomile adds depth and interest to the nose of typical stone fruit: apricot, and peach. Ripeness of rich fruits – nectarine, apricot and Golden Delicious apple – is tempered by a bright tang of citrus peel and fresh acidity. Adding dimension and depth is an exciting light chalky grip and evidence of time on lees. Rounded and full with good body and length. Impressive balance and focus in the way the fruit, acid and lees relate.
If the word “affable” were a wine, this would be it! The appeal starts with the friendly, dark berried and subtly spiced nose. It carries through to the confident, flavourful palate which impresses with its sheer drinkability and tastiness. Ample red and black cherry, plum, cocoa and even spicy cigarbox. Lovely soft, comfortable mouthfeel and a supple agility and succulence. Confident, comfortable in its own ability to charm, it finishes with a spicy, earthy, cocoa-tinged flourish.
Ripe nectarine, peach and stone fruit aromas with a subtle citrus edge on the nose. On the palate, that same ripe stone fruit and nectarine are found, along with a lively spritz of lemon vibrance. Bright, juicy and fresh with light, perky and energetic body which is fleshed out with an understated lees note. The balance of fruit and acidity makes it a natural match for summertime enjoyment.
Softly attractive strawberry and raspberry aromas with a subtle floral fringe that complements its pale pink shade. The palate is fresh and juicy with a gentle citrus tang perfectly offset and balanced by the rounded berry compote flavours. There’s even an exotic suggestion of Turkish Delight. Appealing in its succulence and vibrancy, it has good body and presence. It’s no will o’ the wisp: it has substance and good length.
Aromas of tangy passionfruit, lime, and nectarine meld with notes of fresh fruit salad. The lively, crisp palate bursts with bright flavors of grapefruit, lime, and stone fruit. A vibrant acidity is complemented by a subtle hint of gravel and flint, adding layers of complexity and a dry, mineral edge to the mouthfeel. Focused and energetic, this wine finishes with a deliciously dry, lemon-zest note.
Peppery edge to plum and black fruit aromas, with a hint of dried herbs. The entry to the palate is rounded and supple, populated with the black berry fruit and plums which the nose promised – nicely ripe. Fresh and succulent with good concentration and depth. The texture is soft and inviting, smooth and not overpowered by oak, tannin, acid or even fruit. Delicious in the harmony of the various elements of the wine with a sustained, spicy, long tail.
