A Bendigo, Central Otago, wine – from the company’s dramatic lakefront terraced vineyard. Gleaming pale golden yellow in the glass. Focussed and tense on the nose of peach, lemon blossom, green papaya and hint of baked Pear Danish. Linear acidity, driven and very direct. More toasty, warming spice notes.
Lime and white fleshed nectarine, green melon, grilled pineapple, amongst crisp, sliced fennel herbal notes. Ripe, honeyed sweetness that is on the edge of the acidity, entwined and inseparable. A zesty, mineral salinity. Complex, assured and with real integration – a wine with great flow and energy. Pure mouthwatering finish. 94pts.
