This is a five barrel blend of sauvignon, gewurz and chardonnay. It pours with quite intense, mature lemon-gold colour. Shows a generous, exotic nose of apricot, lemon, well integrated spice and mustard seed. Nicely full, fleshy and dry on the palate with a spicy, slightly sappy, green finish. The length is excellent. Often gewurz overpowers blends but here it is adding gentle, floral nuances. Tasted March 2018. 89 Points.
