Juicy and succulent, featuring Key lime, green apple and passion fruit flavors that leap from the glass, with aromatic notes of lemongrass and freshly grated ginger. A touch of saline adds an appealing savory element.

May 2018

This is a flinty, medium to full-bodied wine, bursting with notes of white grapefruit, lime, fresh green beans, matchstick and toasted nut aromas. The palate is focused and tightly wound, with more flinty, nutty, limey and grassy goodness.

This offers an intense and fragrant mix of white pepper, grapefruit and orange zest notes, with a savory thread of saline. Supple and juicy, with a hint of makrut lime lingering on the finish.

July 2019

This is once again a solid wine, despite the difficult vintage. The classic fruit and veg combo reigns supreme on the nose, with passion fruit, pineapple and black currant swirling with tomato leaf and snow pea aromas. The palate is taut and focused, with flinty acidity, zippy, limey acidity and a long fruity finish. Its a happy match with all manner of shellfish.
