86/100 45

Distinctive and classy wine that has consistently earned a high silver of gold medal rating from me. Quite strong flavours of passion fruit, mineral and Gala apple. Some grainy tannins on the finish help to promote a a drying and slightly austere influence.

Tasted: Jul 2011   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $25 (~USD $19)
