Straw yellow with light orange hue. An enticing aroma of jasmine, golden peach and poached pears. Figs, pear and spices with excellent weight and a plush mouthfeel.
Harvest 2021 was about 8 days earlier than 2020 and kicked off on March 9th and was complete in 4 weeks finishing on April 9th. No two vintages are the same and this year the difference was the lower yield. Springtime flowering conditions weren’t favourable with cooler weather than usual leading to a large reduction in yield. Some late spring frosts occurred affecting some localised areas of Marlborough and contributed to the lower yielding 2021 vintage. However, we had great weather throughout the ripening period, lots of sunshine and cooler nights, and very little rain so there was no disease pressure and all varieties achieved fantastic ripeness and flavours, albeit small volumes.
93 Point Rated And 5 Stars Sam Kim Wine Orbit
It's gorgeously ripe and enticing on the nose showing golden peach, poached pear, rockmelon and rich floral aromas, leading to a succulent palate delivering excellent weight and plush mouthfeel. Flavoursome and instantly appealing. At its best: now to 2025. Jan 2022.
