Reviews
***97 Points- PLATINUM - Decanter 2024***
An enchanting fragrance of toasted cereal, malt and cedar with an emerging tang of orange peel. Irresistibly concentrated and delectable with a palate-coating barley sugar sweetness counterbalanced by a zesty citrus peel acidity. Beautifully poised.
***SILVER Medal- International Wine Challenge 2024***
Nose is complex, clean and fine with aromas of salted caramel biscuits and dried fig. Palate full of spicy mouth watering fruit. Very long finish.
