Aromas of peaches, stewed pears, papaya, hazelnut and marmalade fill the nose, with subtle banana undertones evident.

The palate is weighty and silky in texture. Peaches, honeyed, sweet orange peel and citrus dominate the flavours. The citrus character provides excellent length while clever oak use, with regular lees stirring has produced a subtle toasty character that mingles seamlessly with the fruit.

A wine for all occasions, it will go well with rich seafood dishes such as scallop mornay or creamy chicken carbonara.

As under screwcap, this wine can be cellared for up to five years from the bottling date for increased complexity.
