Awesome fruit including nectarines, intense dried apricots and aromatic lychee come out of the glass at you. In the mouth the fruit is too delicious – nectarines, peaches and white strawberries. The amazing spiciness of Angostura Bitters perch on the palate and the flavour of Turkish Delight lingers on and on.
A bouquet of intoxicating jasmine and citrus blossoms weave through sunkissed white nectarines. A delicate spice appears and a tiny glance of slightly mineral tinned apricots reveal themselves. The palate is alive with all the loveliness of a luscious tarte au citron. Fresh white nectarines dance with barley sugar and there are whispers of a silky minerality and gentle spice.
Aromas of lifted tropical fruits including pineapple, guava, gold kiwi fruit, and passionfruit. The palate has wonderful weight and a creamy texture providing structurally complex characters and a zingy acidity that lifts these exotic vibrant fresh tropical flavours.
Intriguing aromas of tantalising saffron pears, just ripe apricots, nutty macadamias and zesty lemon sherbet dance around a quirky slightly saline nub. There are intense and textural citrus notes on the palate which try to dominate but glimpses of tropical fruit including pawpaw and champagne melon shine through and pineapple lingers and lingers.
Lively fresh aromas of nashi pear, custard apple and lychee demand your attention. Delightful appearances of perfumed lemon myrtle, sweet white peach and glimpses of Madagascar vanilla extract lift and enhance. On the palate it is all about the loveliness of all things lemon meringue pie combined with notes of lemon sherbet, ripe candy melon and slightly herbaceous lemon thyme.
The overwhelming floral and herbaceous notes are reminiscent of walking into a really amazing florist’s. There are also beguiling fruit notes of passionfruit, yellow peaches and caramelised pineapple and a sense of creamy vanilla. An orange sherbet bomb explodes and releases a wine with complex layered textures and flavours including a bouquet garni made from sage, oregano and thyme which entwines with fresh apricots and unripe white nectarines. The flavours linger on.
The nose is reminiscent of an ancient overgrown orchard alive with the aromas of green grass, windfall apples and lemons and strewn with wild flowers. Charming suggestions shine through of organic dried apricots and almond praline. Golden fragranced sweet lemons weave with a herbaceous yet floral lemon myrtle to endow the luscious mouthfeel. The wine is gorgeously textural and slightly creamy bringing with it a lemony golden syrup that evolves into the lingering flavour of delicious French pastries.
