Tasting Notes:
The wine opens with seaside aromas, candles, white peach pastries, some cinnamon spice and salted cashews. The palate has a nice depth of flavour, there’s a volume of stonefruit; nectarine and white peach with pear flavoured acidity. The wine hums along nicely and features a fine chalky grip.
