From estate vineyards in the Wairau Valley, Marlborough. A pale medium-pink colour in the glass showing fresh aromas of raspberry, watermelon, plum, red liquorice and rose petal. Vivacious and ripe, a bright acidity shines at the front of the palate, then deepening into more red berries, cherry, red apple and blanched almond. Supple, balanced and refreshing in equal parts. A nibble of fruit tannin and also some minerality add interest to a pretty seamless example of this popular summer style. 91pts.
