A wine from Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf, and a harvest to remember – not only due to the global COVID pandemic, but also for a perfect growing vintage, where veraison occurred around two weeks earlier than had been seen before. Under screwcap. A medium lemon-gold in colour. The fragrance shows lemon and lime, stone fruit, saline minerality and subtle citrus blossom. Sits lightly on the palate with rounded peach characters. This is fine boned, complex and quite Chablis-like in nature. Acidity is fine and elegant, carrying to a clean, mouth-watering finish. 90pts
